Children can begin as early as 4 months old. Our programs are designed to support early water introduction and continue through advanced skill development as children grow.

The time it takes for a child to learn basic swim skills varies depending on age, comfort level, and prior experience in the water. On average, children can begin mastering foundational skills such as floating, kicking, and basic strokes after a few weeks of consistent lessons.
The first water safety skills children should learn include floating on their back, breath control, kicking, basic arm movements, and how to enter and exit the pool safely.
