WAVES CREW Members

Here at Waves, we embrace and incorporate water safety with stroke refinement. We believe swim lessons should focus on safety first, then skills, either in a group or a private one-on-one setting. We also think there is no such thing as a "water safe" child. However, we know there are steps that we can take to educate and prepare for encounters with water such as pools, rivers, lakes, and the ocean.
 

Learning to recognize and respect safe water practices and make safe decisions around ALL types of water environments is a critical life skill that should go hand in hand with learning to swim and could save a life. What makes us different is that we do this by incorporating new, unique skills and tools that simulate other bodies of water and conditions. We are passionate about what we do and cannot wait to share our love of water with you. Being comfortable in the water is fun and opens the door to other enjoyable activities!  We offer swim services to everyone, from infants to adults.

We want mature, dynamic, and positive people to join our team. We are a private, one-on-one, safety-based swim school that operates year-round. We are open Tuesday thru Saturday, 10 am- 6 pm (depending on the season). We are in a safe and family-friendly environment. We believe in Safety and the love of water FIRST and that swimming and water safety are a family affair.
