Swimming

Our specially designed teaching pool is perfect for your child to learn the fundamentals of swimming and how to be safe around water. Learning takes place in our gas heated, non intimidating pool. A salt filtration system is used to keep our water clean and sanitary as well as easier on the eyes instead of the traditional chlorine system. We are also members of the United Swim School Association, which provides us with the latest teaching techniques and safety procedures for children's swim classes.
