OUR CORE COURSES

Essentials 1

Start at the beginning with essentials you won’t find elsewhere. All the basics that no one ever told you plus early skills. Begin to be at ease in the deep, too.

Essentials SloMo

This course is exactly like our Essentials 1 Course except that it goes more slowly and we don’t enter deep water. 5.5 feet is the maximum depth of the pool.

Essentials 2

The goal of this course is to finish what you began in Essentials 1: becoming confident and peaceful in water over your head.

Deep Water Play

When you’ve mastered your safety in the deep end of the pool and you can “hang out” there as long as you want, there’s one more level of competency to win: proficiency
