Whether they’re just getting started or leveling up, we focus on water safety, floating, breath control, and proper stroke technique β€” all guided by a patient instructor with swim team experience and a love for joyful, empowering coaching. Sessions run 30–45 minutes depending on stamina (and how many β€œjust one more jumps!” they sneak in).

  • Katie was kind and gentle with my two sons. Her approach instantly made my kids feel at ease. They quickly improved their swimming skills both in pool and ocean.

  • Thanks SO MUCH Carolyn for teaching our boys with so much patience and energy these last couple weeks! Very impressed with how far they've come! Especially getting our son snorkeling and swimming in the deep end! Didn't think that would really happen this trip so definitely blew away our expectations! The snorkeling this morning was so stunning.Thanks for helping make a super special memory for our trip!
