Otter (Entry-level)

Coach Lexie has created a bond with my 4 year old that is so strong it's literally visible. He trusts her completely and has FLOWN through the last three levels. I highly recommend EVO and RIO. The level of instruction is high, the care and compassion is incredible, and they put tons of effort into curating an effective program with effective staff.

Great school! We've taken all our kids here over the last 10 years. Consistent schedules, great staff, great swimmers!

100% recommend EVO to every parent out there. I’m amazed by how much my kids have learned and I am so proud of them. This wouldn’t be without the dedicated and caring coaches. EVO is a big part of our lives now and my kids love going there.

We love Evo! My 3.5 year old has been taking lessons for about 2 months now and we've had an amazing experience! My son loves going to classes each week, Coach Lilly is so great with my little guy, the people at the front desk are super nice and helpful, and everyone else we've interacted with are friendly and welcoming. The facility is very clean and organized and we are so happy with our experience so far!

Overview

FAQ

Designed for young swimmers who are not yet independent in the water, the Otter class focuses on building comfort and confidence. With a small class size of one instructor per three students, children will begin developing essential water skills, including:

What Your Little Otter Will Learn:

Breath Control: Learning to hold their breath and blow bubbles.
Kicking & Floating: Practicing foundational swimming movements.
Face-in-the-Water Swimming: Encouraging comfort and movement while submerged.

Tears are common at first, but most children overcome their fears within two to three lessons, making this the perfect introduction to water safety and swimming skills.
