Preschool Programs
Our Preschool Program is for children ages 6 months through 6 years. Our WSI Certified teachers are selected based on their background in aquatics and experience working with young children. We focus on consistency, teacher support, and creating a nurturing environment. This great introduction for your new swimmer provides a solid foundation for future years in the water. The preschool program maintains a low student/teacher ratio.
