Childrens Group Swim Lessons

The most economical way to learn to swim is through group instruction. Our professional and friendly instructors divide their time between 3 children at the Flounder level and gradually more children as they develop confidence and independence as swimmers at the higher levels.  Check each level for approximate instructor to swimmer ratios.
