More information
My Parent & Tot classes create a positive first experience with water for your little one. With you in the water, your child will learn basic water safety, comfort, and foundational skills through games and songs. Parent–Tot classes are designed to help young children build comfort, confidence, and safety in the water alongside a trusted caregiver. These classes focus on gentle water introduction, breath awareness, floating, kicking, and basic movement skills through play-based activities. Parents are actively involved in the water, learning how to support their child while building trust and positive associations with swimming. The goal is not perfection, but creating a calm, safe, and enjoyable foundation that supports long-term water confidence and safety.
Perfect for parents who want to introduce their infant or toddler to water in a safe, nurturing environment while building confidence together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to your most common questions about our programs and services.
I offer both group and private lessons. Group lessons, typically 4–6 swimmers, are great for building confidence and social skills while learning alongside peers. Private lessons provide one-on-one attention for more individualized goals or faster progression, and I also offer semi-private lessons for 2–3 swimmers who want to learn together. I strongly recommend private lessons for hesistant swimmes.
I teach swimmers at every stage of life, from parent–tot classes starting around 10 months old through children, teens, and adults. I also work with competitive swimmers, triathletes, and Ironman athletes who are looking to improve technique, efficiency, and performance.
I schedule lessons in 20 minute time blocks. You can do a 20 minute lesson, a 40 minute lesson, a 60 minute lesson, an 80 minute lesson, a 100 minute lesson, or a 120 minute lesson. What do I recommend? The younger the studen = the shorter the lesson so their engangement remains strong.
Plan on being 5 minutes early to every lesson to ensure a smooth start! For your swim lessons, please bring a swimsuit, towel, and goggles (optional). I also recommend bringing a water bottle to stay hydrated either during or after. For younger children, swim diapers are required. No regular diapers are allowed in the pool. If you have long hair, a swim cap can be helpful but is not required. All other equipment needed for lessons will be provided. There is a restroom available and I ask that you try your best to see if your child will use the restroom prior to beginning the lesson.
Water fear is completely normal, and I specialize in helping swimmers work through it. I use a gentle, patient approach that builds trust at each child’s pace, never forcing participation and always prioritizing safety and comfort. Many of my most confident swimmers began their journey feeling unsure in the water.
