WHAT THEY WILL LEARN

Our Bright Blue program is designed for little swimmers ages 3 to 5 to help them independently acclimate to the swimming pool. Our swim lessons for toddlers are social and engaging, allowing your child to learn valuable skills while having fun.

What’s a Splash Zone™?

Splash Zones show how far your child can swim on their own—and as they grow their Splash Zone, they’re becoming safer, more confident swimmers. By the time they complete Bright Blue, your swimmer will reach a Splash Zone of up to 60 feet.

FAQs

For baby lessons, a parent or caregiver is required to be in the water with the child for the full lesson. For all other levels, parents and caregivers can watch from the lobby to allow our instructors to build a bond with the swimmers and provide an easier transition to swim skills. However, if there are any specific needs, we encourage you to talk to your local team to determine the best method for your child.

No need to worry. Our instructors are experts who know how to handle a variety of situations, including water anxiety. We’ll work at your child’s pace, using fun activities and positive reinforcement to help them feel comfortable and confident in the water.

Your child should wear a comfortable swimsuit and, if they are not potty-trained, a snug-fitting reusable swim diaper over a disposable swim diaper. Don’t forget to pack a towel and a fresh change of clothes for after the fun!
