Small Group Swim Lessons
Philosophy
Our philosophy at Happy Fish Swim School is that learning to swim should be SIMPLE, LOGICAL, and FUN!
We understand that every child is different with different needs and will progress at their own pace. Allowing children to explore and make mistakes is an integral part of learning which is why our instructors are trained to positively guide students through the program at their own pace.
We strive to provide the safest, most child friendly environment possible so you and your child will enjoy coming to class every week. Our ribbon level program is specially designed to help kids conquer their fear of water, learn to be water safe, and become competitive swimmers at their own pace.
We HIGHLY recommend students be AT LEAST 4 YEARS OLD before joining group swim lessons for the best outcome as children under the age of 4 will often still show signs of "seperation anxiety" from their parents and may not be emotionally ready for swim class. A good way to test the waters would be to introduce your child to swimming together during our Waterbaby classes.
Everyone needs to learn to swim, and WE make it easier than you think.
