Survival Swim
What It Is?
- Specialized water safety lessons for infants and toddlers ages 6 months to 3 years
- 15-minute sessions — short and focused by design, matched to how young children learn best
- Coaching time moves in and out of the water based on your child's needs that day
- Builds safety instincts and survival skills in and around the water
- Due to the lesson frequency Survival Swim is available by waitlist only
What Your Keiki Will Experience?
- A structured, repetition-based approach that builds real water safety skills over time
- Every child moves at their own pace, lessons are tailored to where your child is, not a fixed curriculum
- Some days are easier than others, and that's part of the process. Trust the coach and the method
- Your child may cry while building comfort and skills, especially in early sessions. This is normal and expected, and means the learning is happening
Scheduling Options
- 4 sessions per week. This frequency is intentional and produces the best outcomes for this age group.
Adaptive Swim
What It Is?
- Specialized one-on-one swim instruction for children ages 6 months to 10 years with sensory sensitivities, anxiety, autism spectrum differences, or physical and mobility considerations
- Lessons up to 30 minutes — length is adjusted based on your child's needs and energy that day
- Coaching moves in and out of the water at your child's pace, never forced
- Builds water safety competencies in and around the water within a framework designed for your child specifically
- Available at Kailua and Kahala — by waitlist only
What Your Keiki Will Experience?
- A coach who meets your child exactly where they are — no one-size-fits-all curriculum, no pressure to keep up with a typical progression
- A consistent, predictable lesson structure that reduces uncertainty and builds trust over time — especially important for children who need routine to feel safe
- Gradual, patient water introduction at whatever pace your child can handle that day — some sessions may stay at the pool's edge, and that's a win
- Sensory-aware coaching — coaches are briefed on your child's specific sensitivities before the first lesson, so nothing is a surprise
Scheduling Options
- 1x to 3x per week — frequency is determined collaboratively with your coach based on your child's goals, tolerance, and schedule
- Consistency matters more than frequency — the same coach, same time, same pool builds the predictability that helps these children thrive
Pricing & Enrollment
- 30-lesson punch pass:
$2,000 (~$67/session)
Pricing is based off 30 minute lessons. If more time is assessed and needed, pricing may vary to accommodate by $1 a minute
