Pre-School Kids Swim Lesson (Level 1)

Program Overview

The Dive Buddy Swim School has a low child-to-instructor ratio. Our swim instructors are trained to work with younger children and lifeguards are always on the pool deck during swim lessons. Parents are welcome to watch swim lessons from the pool deck.

The Dive Buddy Swim School uses class levels to ensure your preschooler is placed according to his/ her ability. Children are evaluated at the beginning of each session and placed at the appropriate level based on demonstrated ability. Children should be able to work with an instructor and participate in swim lessons independently and willingly.
