*For children under the age of three, “Mommy & Me” style sessions may be available depending on scheduling and availability. These gentle, introductory sessions are designed to assess a child’s readiness and support parents in confidently introducing their little one to water. Typically, families can expect one to three sessions focused on early exposure, trust-building, and creating a positive foundation for future aquatic learning. While water familiarity is valuable at every stage, steady progress in skill development is more commonly observed after a child turns two. Individual or Semi-Private rates apply.
