An Interactive and Engaging Experience

At AQUAfin, we believe in a FIN-tastic experience for everyone with trauma-free swim lessons that focus on developmentally-appropriate drills to engage toddlers and educate parents on water safety and long-term swim success. In Parent and Baby classes expect to introduce your little ones to the water with splashing, kicking, toys, and a whole lot of singing! We have three different Baby Classes based on age as you start your swim journey and make milestones TOGETHER!

Swim Diaper Policy

At AQUAfin Swim School, cleaniness of our water is a huge priority! One way we do this is to ensure that our kiddos who are not potty trained wear properly sized swim diapers with a double layer of protection. According to the CDC, no swim diaper holds fecal material beyond 3-5 minutes. Having both the disposable swim diaper as well as the sealed swim diaper, helps keep everyone safe and prevents shutting down the pool for lessons!

Children are not required to wear a swimsuit or additional layer on top of their swim diapers. WE DO NOT ALLOW the use of any type of
regular disposable diaper in the pool. These diapers do not keep solids from entering the pool. IN addition, please do not bring your
child to class if they have had diarrhea within the past two days
