Our goal is to keep the kids moving in the water
-
With lots of turns and praise for effort and improvement kids learn while having FUN!
-
Teachers and parents can stand anywhere in our pool (3 – 4ft. deep)
-
This is less intimidating to our younger students and easier for adults to “spot” the kids
07
Safe Ports for Young Students:
-
We have 4 sets of stairs, an 8 ft swim-out & several “swim platforms” throughout the pool for kids to swim to and from during class
08
Cool Stuff:
-
We use a lot of “props” like dive rings, underwater hoops, dumb bells, kick boards, a slide, and lots of other toys to make learning FUN!
09
Goggles:
-
It’s amazing how much more interesting our underwater world is when you can SEE CLEARLY. Help us to get your child “goggle friendly”.

OUR PHILOSOPHY
Did you know that drowning is the number one cause of death for children under the age of 2? At LaFleurs we believe that water safety should be at the forefront of every parents mind. LaFleur’s swimming lessons are designed with younger children in mind. During the formative years kids need to have an opportunity to swim “year round”. LaFleur’s has a state of the art indoor, heated pool to give your kids every opportunity to learn in a safe and comfortable environment.
About Our Swim Classes
SWIMMING PROGRAMS FOR ALL AGES & ABILITIES

BEGINNER SWIM
STARTING AT AGE 3
Our Beginner Swim classes are for toddlers who have very limited swim/water safety experience. In this 30 minute class our instructors will work on the basics of swimming: safety, breathing, floating with assistance, and kicking!
​
​
​
​
INTERMEDIATE SWIM
STARTING AT AGE 4
Our Intermediate Swim classes are designed for kids who can confidently put their face in the water and kick their feet half way across a pool. In this 30 minute class we will work to develop those skills and integrate proper breathing techniques, arm strokes, floating on your own, and diving for toys.
​
​
STROKE SWIM CLASS
AGES VARY
Our Stroke Swim Classes are designed for a confident swimmer. Kids enrolled in this class should already be able to properly swim the full width of a pool both on their stomach and on their back. In this 30 minute class our instructors will work to teach the student how to complete all 4 strokes with proper body movements and breathing techniques.
