Group Swim Lessons Info
Elevation Athletics is excited to offer group swim lessons!
Our group lesson program uses small class sizes and parental involvement (where appropriate) to ensure that kids ages 18 months and up can learn to be comfortable and safe in the water.
Our stroke development classes prepare kids for the Elevation Athletics swim team and help develop lifelong swimming and water safety skills.

If you have any questions regarding which level is right for your swimmer, please email us at swimlessons@elevationswim.com, we are happy to assist you.
