Group Lessons - "Big Pool"

Our group lessons are for kids aged 5-12 who do not have fear and are ready to level-up their swimming. We have trained coaches who are also excellent instructors. These semi-private and small group lessons are unique in the greater Denver area. We are outcomes focused, and treat each week with the importance it needs for swimmers to make progress consistently. We focus on safety, but also quickly move to technique work to ensure excellent swimming for years to come. 

 

Tiny Turtles lessons are 25 minutes and Big Turtles through Narwhals lessons are 40 minutes of instruction. Please check the Level details to make sure your swimmer is enrolled into the correct level.
