We understand that starting lessons as a teen can be a little scary and overwhelming.  Our teens classes are for beginner teenagers and allow for students to swim in a small group with the same age group.  Once some basic swimming skills are developed, our teens can then transition into our standard levels to complete their swimming journey.
