Choo Choo Diving & Aquatic Center is the ideal environment for learning to swim. Our facility was created with young swimmers and parents in mind. The pool temperature is maintained at 86 degrees, there are minimal distractions, and there is even an air-conditioned viewing area.

Group Swim Lessons

Swim sessions are 10 to 11 weeks in length and each lesson is 40 minutes. We believe that one lesson per week promotes skill development and retention.  You may, however, enroll your child in more than one lesson per week. Swimming is great exercise and helps to develop healthy, well conditioned young bodies. We recommend that you consider scheduling year-round, weekly lessons.

Year-round weekly swim lessons are an excellent way to:

• Provide  "skill repetition over time" to reinforce motor skills and create a skilled, conditioned, swimmer
• Provide a regular, healthy, activity to improve your child's level of physical conditioning
• Give your child a continuing sense of achievement and confidence
• Develop the skills and knowledge to help your child stay safe around the water

Swimmer Placement

Children enter the program, and are placed in the appropriate level, based on ability. Pre-school non-swimmers are placed in the Beginner Class. With training and experience, they will progress through Semi-Advanced (Level 1), Advanced (Level 2), and Very Advanced (Level 3) classes. Swimmers who are progressing rapidly are often promoted during mid session.

How to Enroll in Group Swim Lessons

Classes are small with only four students per instructor. Classes fill quickly so please reserve space well in advance. Consult the swim schedule for upcoming dates. A limited number of mid-term placements may also be available so please call for additional information.

Private Lessons for Kids and Adults

Private and semi-private lessons are available for kids and adults. A limited number of adult group lessons are also available (see group schedule).
