Peace of Mind
Certified swimming instructors and lifeguards, along with nationally-recognized coaches who always put safety first. All instructors are certified lifeguards with Red Cross CPR/AED training and Life Time Swim’s industry-leading Swim Instructor Certification.
Let’s get your baby happy, comfortable and splashing in the water. Songs and games make it fun as they progress from just getting in, to basic skills like floating and kicking.
Make friends, have fun, our small class sizes are perfect for close attention from an instructor and the camaraderie the kids will have with their classmates to jump all in!
Some kids like to take it a little slower, a little quieter, and need a little more attention. A sibling or a friend can help ease nerves and warm up to the water.
The undivided attention of certified instructors can help kids learn more effectively, they know exactly what your kid needs, and will create a customized plan to ensure they’re not overwhelmed and progress properly.
When school’s out, kids aged 5 to 12 love spending time in the pool. Two to three hours of additional lessons, learning water safety skills and sports. We’ll feed them too!
A little more personalized attention that will focus on specific swimming skills and mechanics, for added comfort and confidence, or for competitive edge.
Family Locker Room
We want to make this as easy as possible, so there’s a direct line from the front desk, to the locker room, to the pool. Less time to stress. More time together.

Faqs
Is membership required to enroll in swim lessons?
An active club-accessing Life Time junior membership is required for kids’ swim lessons. Additionally, a junior membership can only be generated by adding onto an adult membership (adult must be their legal guardian or grandparent).
Do I need to be in the water with my children?
Your child will be assessed by our 25:10 swim test to determine your child’s swimming ability. The 25:10 rule states that if a child is unable to swim 25 meters continuously (no stopping) and unassisted, then a parent needs to remain in the water with them within 10 feet of the child. If they can successfully complete the test, the child will be given a yellow wristband for each Family Swim session and the parent just needs to remain present in the pool area but doesn’t have to be in the water.
Is there a multiple child discount for swim lessons?
For members enrolling multiple children in swim lessons, all children after the first child enrolled will receive a 25% discount on the lesson cost.
What is Family Swim? Are lifeguards on duty during this time?
During Family Swim hours, children under 12 years of age are allowed to play in the pool area when accompanied by a parent, legal guardian or sponsoring member. Please note: a parent, legal guardian or sponsoring member must be in the same body of water as the child at all times. If a child cannot swim 25 meters continuously, an adult must be within 10 feet of the child in the water and actively watching at all times. Lifeguards are on duty in most states, where required.
