Swim School Group Lessons

From infants becoming water-safe, to children and teens getting ready to join a swim team, we offer small group swim classes for all ages and skill levels.  See also Private and Semi-Private lessons. 

While emphasizing water safety, we build confidence through private and small group instruction in a fun and supportive environment. 

Pre-registration is required. Class space is limited to ensure a favorable student/instructor ratio. Please register online (follow the Class links below), or visit or call the Front Desk (805-434-9605) to reserve your spot.
