Swim Lessons for
Every Age & Level

From infants taking their first splash to adults perfecting competitive strokes — all in the privacy of your own NYC pool.

A Clear Path Forward

6 Levels. Every Swimmer.

Our progression ladder takes swimmers from their very first splash through competitive-level technique. Every child advances at their own pace.

01
4 months – 18 months

Aqua Babies

First splash, first smiles

The earliest and most nurturing entry into the water. Our infant specialists guide babies through their very first aquatic experiences using gentle play, songs, and parent-assisted activities. Every session builds trust, sensory awareness, and foundational safety habits.

  • Water acclimation and comfort in the pool
  • Breath control — gentle submersion techniques
  • Back float introduction and buoyancy awareness
  • Gross motor development through water play
  • Parent-child bonding in the aquatic environment
02
18 months – 3 years

Swim Tots

Building independence in the water

Toddlers are ready to splash, kick, and begin swimming with minimal assistance. This level transitions children from parent-dependent play to confident, independent movement. A nurturing, playful environment encourages them to try new skills without fear.

  • Breath control and voluntary submersion
  • Independent floating on front and back
  • Basic kicking and arm movements
  • Water entry and safe pool-edge skills
  • Water confidence and self-rescue foundations
