Our core service is providing private, at-home swim lessons. Your trained instructor travels to your home pool, community pool or aquatic facility anywhere in Auburn or across Greater Seattle. If you don't have a pool, our instructors are happy to meet you at any safe, local pool of your choosing.

For baby and some toddler lessons, parent participation is encouraged for building water comfort.

If you have specific preferences or concerns, our team is happy to accommodate them in your registration. We tailor each lesson to your comfort and goals.
