When is the right time to begin lessons?

We recommend that children begin lessons as soon as they begin to walk, sooner if they are frequently around water.

If toddlers and young children are taught to have fun before they are taught independent skills, they are more prone to have an accident in the water. Part of our program includes teaching children respect for the water, when it is okay to enter the water, and how to safely get themselves out if they fall in.

We recommend that children and adults begin lessons as soon as possible if they:

  • Live close to the water

  • Vacation around water

  • Own a boat

  • Have a pool or hot tub (or relatives who do)

  • Enjoy (or want to enjoy) swimming as an activity with your family
