Classes For Every Child and Level
This program is designed for swimmers who are capable of learning in a small group environment and are at least 3 years old.
We maintain small class sizes with a 4:1 ratio.
Classes meet 30 minutes weekly, and are held at the same day and time each week.
For months with 4 weeks the cost is $120 for 4 lessons. For months with 5 weeks, cost is $150 for 5 lessons.
