About
We offer high-quality swimming lessons at your home pool, providing highly qualified, trained, and insured instructors. We offer a combined experience of over 45 years and use a gentle, yet playful approach that is energetic and extremely goal-oriented. Our goal is to get your child swimming in the fastest possible time. We also use a variety of unique techniques to accomplish that goal which is not used by any other companies. Even in the "play" times, the focus is geared strictly towards obtaining a particular skill in the water. It is not fluff.
We love children and we'd like to see them become the best that they can be! We love the water and swimming and enjoy seeing people excel in an area that they have been so frightened in. It is a great joy to take someone, whether a child or an adult, from a non-swimmer to a swimmer. It is also wonderful to see someone become proficient at swimming and move through the water with grace and ease. We want our students to become lifelong swimmers, to enjoy all types of water and water sports.
We are now offering quality tennis lessons for beginner to advanced players from ages 3 and up. The toddlers will learn pre-tennis skills and hand-eye coordination using different games and activities to enhance future tennis learning. We have 2 excellent tennis pros!
Tutoring is also available with Dr. Allen Stone, one of our tennis pros. He has a doctorate in Chemistry and teaches all Math, most Science, and all test prep!

I've watched Vicki and Kim teach swimming for many years with all different age groups and levels, including adults with special needs. They make learning fun; reassuring those who have a fear of the water. They are professional and personable. Most kids get excited when they see their instructors coming. I've watched non-swimmers engaged and transformed into confident swimmers who enjoy the sport, safely, within a season. Toddlers learn to dive in 2-4 feet of water using play technique. Having said that however, scheduling can be challenging with cancellations, weather variables and family plan changes. Overall, though, they manage to accommodate most everyone.
