Teaching a lifelong love of safe swimming.

Parents trust us with the most important lesson of all.

Taught my 3 kids to swim since 7 months old. They always work around your schedule to find classes that work for you. We loved our experience here. My kids still ask to go back!

The Pod has taught all three of my children how to swim. Their private lessons are truly 1:1, with far fewer kids in the pool than other companies, allowing for more efficient, effective lessons. The staff are flexible and always willing to accommodate your schedule. My 5 year old is a phenomenal swimmer. I cannot recommend The Pod enough.

We absolutely love this place and have been taking our kids here for years. Ms Julie has been an angel, patient and so calm with my son. She realized he was a better fit for private lessons, and switching back was a game changer. He is only two and is extremely confident in the pool, which gives us parents peace of mind. All the instructors are awesome!

What age can my baby start swim lessons?

Infant Aquatics® Basic Training starts at 6 months. Children aged 6 to 18 months learn to jump into the water and roll onto their backs to breathe and float while waiting for help. Students over 18 months who are developmentally ready go on to roll back over and kick to safety.

How long does it take for my child to become water safe?

It differs for every child, based on development, temperament and comfort in the water. Fearful students, and those with learning differences or separation anxiety, may take longer, while children with positive previous aquatic experience may take less. For most children the program takes weeks, not years.

Do you teach swim lessons year round?

Yes. Our pools are indoor and heated, so lessons run all year rather than stopping for winter. We are open Monday to Thursday 9 AM to 7 PM, Friday and Saturday 9 AM to 12 PM, and closed Sunday.

What are your class sizes and ratios?

Infant Aquatics® and Youth Learn to Swim are 1:1 lessons. Otters, Puffins and Penguins group lessons are 5:1 over 30 minutes. Aquatic Foundations (Sea Lions and Dolphins) is 5:1 over 30 minutes. Pre-Team (Orca and Sport) is 8:1 over one hour.

Do you offer swim lessons for children with autism or special needs?

Yes. Our Special Needs program is taught by highly trained professionals and tailored to each student’s individual physical and learning needs. Our instructors have been trained by experts who specialize in Adaptive Swim Instruction, so we can communicate effectively with students on the spectrum in a calm, patient and reassuring environment.
