Supportive Swim Lessons Designed for Adults at Every Level
It’s never too late to learn how to swim, even as an adult. If you missed out on swimming lessons as a child or wish to learn the four competitive strokes, our professional adult classes at La Petite Baleen can help you ace the basics of aquatic movement and feel more comfortable in the water.
Our professional swim teachers at La Petite Baleen are highly trained in the art of swim education and AQUATIC CLASSROOM® management. Each of our staff members attends several intensive clinics and is required to complete 40 hours of “team teaching” with a senior mentor teacher. We regularly host in-house staff meetings, study sessions, and in-pool clinics to ensure that our teachers remain at the cutting-edge of their craft. In addition to our caring and experienced teachers, we also have staff members and lifeguards who are fully certified in CPR and first aid.
