Does my kid need to bring goggles?

No, while nice to have, they do present a safety issue if they rely and depend on goggles to swim. For our introductory levels (Otter and Seal) we recommend not to have or bring goggles.

What factors are used to determine their level and progression?

Progress depends on factors such as age, independence, speed, and confidence.

How long will it take my child to learn to swim?

Typically within a few lessons we see big improvements, but every child learns at a different pace.Our instructors will help build successful path for your child to get their first independent strokes per their skills and comfortably in the water.

What if my child is nervous about the water?

It’s completely normal for little ones to feel unsure in a new environment. Our instructors are experienced in gently easing children into the water through playful activities and gradual progression. We encourage you to take it at your child’s pace and communicate any concerns to your instructor.
