Splash Club - Lessons
Our certified Swim Instructors are ready to assist your children in learning the skill sets of swimming and developing their four strokes in a safe and positive pool environment.
Each week, instructors will give a certificate of progress for parents and swimmer to track their stroke development. We do our best to try to provide a 3-4:1 swimmer to instructor ratio, so your child will get plenty of attention each time they are in the water. By the end of this course, your child will leave more confident and comfortable in the water.
