Group Swim Classes for Kids and Parents
Join our small-group swim sessions where children build water confidence alongside their peers, making learning feel like a fun playtime.
Our classes, which can be scheduled before or after preschool, are a great way for kids to get in their exercise and learn in a group setting.
In a group class, children are often in the best mindset to be instructed, as they are already in a school learning mode.
A 30-minute group class is a great way to get in some exercise and social time.
While structured classes are important, free playtime in a group setting helps young babies unwind and enjoy the water in their own way.

About this collection
In these small group sessions, children naturally pick up skills faster by watching their friends. It is a powerful form of peer learning where movements like 'monkey walks' and 'pancake flips' become team activities, making the water feel much less intimidating and more like a social playground for your little one.
Why Choose Group Classes?
Group sessions are fantastic for babies and toddlers who thrive on social interaction. When your child watches a friend successfully blow bubbles or kick their legs, they often try to mimic the behavior immediately. This peer-to-peer influence can bypass the hesitation that sometimes happens in one-on-one sessions.
How It Works
These sessions are designed for 2–4 parent-child pairs. We use collective games like 'Treasure Hunt' and 'Traffic Light' to keep the energy up.
- Peer Learning: Your child learns by observing others, which builds confidence and reduces anxiety.
- Social Connection: It is a great opportunity for parents to meet other families in their building or neighborhood.
- Cost-Effective: Group batches offer a more economical way to access professional coaching compared to private 1-on-1 lessons.
What You Need to Know
To start a group batch, you need to form your own group, such as with neighbors or friends, and provide access to a clean, safe pool within your society. Each 30-minute session is structured with rhythm drills and group songs to keep everyone engaged and on track. I rotate between pairs to give each child individual technique corrections while maintaining the flow of the group activity. Whether it is your child’s first time or they are looking to refine their water safety skills, these classes provide a supportive environment to grow, play, and learn.
