Everyone is completely different! Learning how to swim takes time. Progress will depend on goals, comfort in the water, and a variety of other factors. Don't quit or go beyond your current abilities if you/your child remain in the same level for 6 months or longer. In our program we emphasize correct technique in combination with comfort and endurance in the water. Mastering this combination takes time. 

Each Class is 30 minutes. Exception of Pre-Composition which is 60 minutes.
