Our Approach
Our Philosophy
| We teach each student as a unique individual, with patience and kindness. We believe the student/instructor bond should be one of trust and mutual respect. With regard to young children, we feel positive reinforcement and pride in accomplishment are the best and healthiest motivators. We do not forcefully submerge or impose intensive negative tactics to accomplish skill development.
Our Mission We feel both honored and privileged that you have entrusted your child’s aquatic experience to us and we take that responsibility very seriously. We strive to educate both students and their parents in water safety and drowning prevention. Our goal is to provide each student a safe, fun and friendly learning environment with which to teach developmentally appropriate swimming skills that build confidence and character. We form special relationships with both our students and their parents. Watching your child discover the joy of swimming is truly the most rewarding experience for us.
