Little Swimmers Swim Levels

For Little Swimmers:

Swimming can be stressful and scary for swimmers of all ages. We also understand that fearless swimmers can be stressful and scary for our parents. Swimming is not one-size fits all, as there is no “magic age” a swimmer should be to reach a particular swim level. We tailor our uniformed swim program to meet the needs of our individual swimmers to ensure that they maximize their growth in the water. We also serve a wide variety of swimmers including those with special needs and challenges.

Additionally, we incorporate challenging workouts that boost your endurance, enabling you to swim longer distances with ease.
