Kick your feet like a...
..like you're wearing rocket boosters! 🚀..like you're a pirate escaping a shark! 🦈💨..like a dolphin racing to lunch!🐬

There's some pretty creative prompts we give those little swimmers. The sillier the example the better they kick 😉

We're fresh out of ideas. Pop a couple in the comments to give our instructors a few new ones to try!

Would you rather your child spend swim lessons swimming or waiting on the wall?

At Brave Waves, our 2:1 student-to-instructor ratio means more opportunities to practice skills, receive feedback, and stay actively engaged throughout the lesson.

Because confidence in the water is built through practice.

✔ 2 swimmers per instructor

✔ More opportunities to practice

✔ More personalized feedback

✔ More confidence in the water

More practice. Better progress. A better use of your time and money.

Summer is one of the best times to join, with greater lesson availability and more scheduling options for families, including weekday evenings.

🌊 DM us to learn more or view available lesson times.

Can you imagine trying to teach a class of up to 10 children this way? We can't. Our class sizes are intentionally small.

Small enough to get to know your child.
Small enough to work on their individual progress.
Small enough to teach them the entire lesson personally.
Small enough to make sure they're not on the sidelines waiting for a turn all class.
Small enough to make BIG progress quickly.

Brave Waves families, what do you love about small class sizes? Share in the comments so we can spread the word!
