WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT
HOW LESSONS WORK
🫧 15-minute private lessons
🫧 4 days per week
🫧 Approximately 6 weeks for new swimmers
🫧 One-on-one instruction
Short, frequent lessons help children learn through calm, consistent practice
WHAT LESSONS ARE
✔ Private
✔ Structured
✔ Safety-focused
✔ Developmentally appropriate
✔ Taught with patience & connection
I use a gentle but firm approach that balances connection and clear expectations so your child feels safe while learning lifesaving skills.
WHAT LESSONS ARE NOT
❌ Group lessons
❌ A quick-fix program
❌ Recreational swim play
❌ Swim-team or stroke lessons
We are not your typical swim school. Lessons are focused and created for each individual child.
PARENT PARTNERSHIP
Your support plays a big role in your child’s success. Parents observe quietly from the viewing area so children can stay focused and connected with the instructor. Together, we create a calm, loving learning environment where your child can thrive.
A positive attitude from start to finish can significantly enhance your child's experience, fostering resilience and joy throughout their journey.
Highly recommend Ilene! She did such a great job with our sweet girl, Kyrsten! We are so proud of our one year old and her floating/survival abilities and can't wait to start lessons soon! Our daughter has always loved the water and our biggest fear was the survival class would make her scared of the water but the exact opposite happened. She loves the water even more but has learned critical survival skills. We are so excited to enjoy the water safely this summer. Thank you so much Ilene!
