ABOUT ‘THE LPB POD’

At La Petite Baleen, we are committed to providing quality swim lessons, excellent customer service, building community, and having FUN!

Our Core Values

Children
First

LPB has always put children first in every aspect of their business. From curriculum, facility design, and function, to policies, we believe children are unique miracles, and teaching them at LPB and impacting their lives forever is our privilege.

Cultivate Relationships

In order to truly put children first, we intentionally build healthy relationships with each swimmer, their parents or caretakers, and our team. Through positive interactions and strong bonds, we serve our swim families with care, trust, and a shared sense of support.

Child
Development

A cornerstone of LPB philosophy from the very beginning. Every element of our curriculum has been designed with child development principles in mind. This shows in how we approach our work every day and interact with swimmers, families, and coworkers.

Safety

We create safety by teaching children of all ages the life saving skill of swimming. We create safe environments and relationships between LPB, swim families, and coworkers.

OUR TEACHERS

 

Our Swim Teachers are highly trained in the La Petite Baleen method of teaching swimming. Our newest teachers attend several intensive clinics and 40 hours of “team teaching” with a senior mentor teacher. All teachers attend our regular in-house staff meetings, study sessions, and in-pool clinics, further refining our goal to be the premier, cutting-edge swim school in the nation.

We also have CPR and First Aid certified staff as well as certified Life Guards to ensure that any emergency, big or small, can be attended to with qualified and skilled professionals. If you have any questions regarding safety measures or procedures at La Petite Baleen, please speak with one of our Site Directors or Director on Duty (DOD).

In partnership with the United States Swim School Association (USSSA), the World Aquatic Baby Congress (WABC), and the Swim For Life Foundation, we conduct and attend seminars, conferences, teach-ins, and workshops to better understand the growing child from infancy to teen.
