We most certainly can. For private residences, our first step would be a quick assessment of your pool's size and depth. This helps us ensure it's a suitable and safe environment for learning and allows us to create the most effective lesson plan. If there are any limitations, we will discuss a "Plan B" with you.

For a beginner, the convenience of learning in your own condo is usually the preferred choice. The main difference emerges when your child is ready for competitive training. A private club may offer a larger, more structured group environment with other competitive swimmers. In contrast, a "condo swim squad" that we organize offers a more personalized, small-group setting. We can discuss the pros and cons with you when the time comes.

We love the enthusiasm, but our answer for any true beginner is always to start in a calm, still-water pool first. The open sea has currents and unpredictable conditions. It is essential to build a strong foundation of water confidence and basic stroke technique in a controlled environment before safely progressing to the adventure of the open water.

Yes, we can certainly prepare your child for any stage of the SwimSafer test, as our own comprehensive curriculum covers and exceeds all its requirements.

However, our core belief is in our Long-Term Athlete Development program. Our primary goal is to build a genuinely strong and technically sound swimmer, not just to "teach to the test." We find that focusing only on passing an assessment can sometimes lead to children learning a skill just well enough to get by, without true mastery.

Our approach is to build the foundation so thoroughly that when your child takes their SwimSafer test, they don't just pass it—they master it with real skill and unshakable confidence. The test becomes a simple showcase of the excellent swimmer they have already become.
