Preschool swim lessons in Gilbert & Mesa, AZ with a 4:1 ratio.

The Seal class is where preschoolers start swimming with real independence. Children who have built early water comfort, often through Otter, move into Seal to develop the skills that turn them into safe backyard swimmers: efficient movement, rolling onto the back to breathe, and core water survival skills.

With one coach per four students, every child still gets close attention. Families across Gilbert, Mesa, Chandler, and the East Valley choose EVO for the steady, structured progression that gets preschoolers swimming well, not just splashing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Babies can begin the Starfish class as early as 3 months old. At this stage, infant swimming lessons focus on water comfort and breath control rather than strokes, making early enrollment safe and age-appropriate.

Yes. EVO's Starfish class is a parent-tot swim class where a parent or caregiver joins the baby in the water for every session. The class covers water acclimation, basic skills, and parent-child bonding.

Both year-round locations in Gilbert and Mesa feature indoor, climate-controlled pools. Water temperature stays warm and consistent regardless of the season.

Bring a swim diaper, a towel, and a change of clothes for you and your baby. No goggles or special gear are needed for the Starfish level.

The Starfish class has a 12:1 student-to-coach ratio. Because a parent or caregiver is in the water with each baby, your little one has both professional guidance and your support at all times.

Once your child is ready, the next step is the Pufferfish class, another parent-tot level with an 8:1 ratio for ages 16 to 24 months. From there, swimmers move into EVO's entry-level classes like Otter and Seal.
