Our Program
Very Important!
We provide Private Female Instructors who teach swim lessons and competitive/technique training.
We provide Private Female Lifeguards for your pool party events. Our experienced and certified lifeguards will enforce our rules and any additional rules you desire to keep your guests safe. We require a 3 hour minimum for these events.
Our instructors & lifeguards are CPR, First Aid, and Water Safety Instruction certified. So you can trust your student will be safe. Our instructors also go through SRSA Curriculum training and trainings with our Child Development Specialists.
Our Areas of Service include Glendale, Burbank, Porter Ranch, Woodland Hills, North Hollywood, Van Nuys, Sun Valley, La Crescenta-Montrose, Sunland-Tujunga, Pasadena, Santa Clarita, Chatsworth & Granada Hills. Additional travel fees may be applicable depending on your location and our instructors/lifeguards availability.
Our curriculum is tailored to meet the student’s needs. Our program is designed to go at the child’s pace and gently introduce and practice life saving skills in the water. Learn more about our program below.
24hr Cancellation: We are flexible to cancel or reschedule classes when you notify your instructor at least 24 hours in advance. You will be charged for the swim class if a swim instructor is not notified of cancellation 24 hours in advance. We are able to reschedule classes if the weather is below 70 degrees in your area or if there is risk of thunder or lightening.
We travel to you: We are private instructors that travel to a home or community pool near you. We do not provide classes in other business facilities.
We require a safe environment for our students and instructors to learn in. This includes a comfortable water temperature (85-90 degrees) for the students and a hazard-free pool deck.

The Curriculum.
Our curriculum is very simple, and so is the way we teach. Unlike other swim academies, we customize our curriculum to each individual student. We meet each student with whatever strengths or weaknesses they bring to the water and tailor each lesson to make them most comfortable to learn and excel. We make sure the concepts are simple and easy to repeat on their own. Our gentle approach to swim classes do not guarantee that any student will be at a certain level by a certain lesson/amount of time. Our goal is improvement, big or small, for every class but there are a lot of factors that go into your child’s progress that we are not in-control of.
Our goal is water safety for every student. When our students pass Level 3, they are completely water safe! This means they will be comfortable and confident to be left alone in any depth of water. After Level 3, students are trained and coached to perfect their swimming technique and to learn new concepts pertaining to the sport.
