From June through August, lessons are held at a private home pool in Montclair. From October through May, lessons move indoors to a heated hotel pool in Dumfries, VA, ensuring year-round consistency and comfort for your child.

Afternoon and evening lessons are available from June to August in the summer session. During the school year, October to May, lesson availability is morning to early afternoon (8:30am-2:00pm).

Actually, the primary factor in a baby’s ability to float is the ability to take air into the lungs. To maintain this access to air, the child must adjust his/her posture. The difference in positioning for an adult can be inches. For a baby, this adjustment is reduced to centimeters. If a child’s body posture is just a few centimeters off, it can make the difference between the face being submerged or the child having access to air.

We do not want the baby to initially associate the water with the love, attention, and affection of the parent while in the water. Also, it takes incredible concentration and objectivity to teach the baby how to respond to an aquatic emergency and our experience shows that parents often find it too difficult to be objective to be effective teachers with their own children in the water. We gladly invite parents to join us in the pool once their child has independent skills to practice at home.
