Why Choose Us?
We specialize in flexible scheduling and private classes with patient, individualized instruction from highly experienced instructors. We have pricing set up for one person with discounted pricing for private groups. Our course is not rushed and you WILL get substantive time in the water to practice your skills. Public classes tend to train many students at once with limited ability for direct and individualized attention from the instructor. ​
