Why Parents Choose PedalHeads Swim

Kids Feel Comfortable + Have Fun

We keep kids and their lesson experience in mind in everything we do and believe learning to swim should be both comfortable and fun. We incorporate interactive games into our programming so that kids are engaged in learning and we keep our class sizes small and the water warm so kids feel comfortable for the entire duration of their class.

The Pedalheads Method

We've specially designed each progression of our program to include level-specific toys, tools and tactics for all kids to confidently grow and develop their swimming skills over time - whether they're just starting out or have been swimming for a while.

Top Notch Instruction

Our instructors receive specialized training and work directly in the water with kids so they can better demonstrate techniques, provide feedback and refine their students' skills. This hands-on approach and consistent method is what leads to improved performance and success in the water.
