At Little Flippers Swim School, we want learning to swim to be one of your child’s fondest memories. We begin swimming lessons for babies as young as 2 months and go all the way up to competitive swim teams for children ages 6+.
Each level is part of our proven curriculum, designed to match your child’s age, ability, and confidence. As your swimmer progresses through these levels, they’ll unlock new skills and milestones. Choose the best fit to start your swimmer’s journey. Exact classes may vary by location.
We are in the process of enhancing our curriculum, and some information may not yet reflect these updates.
Use our specialized assessment tool to determine what swim lessons level your child should be enrolled in.
