Intro to Water (Mondays & Saturdays) Water Fun for Toddlers (Mondays & Saturdays) Baby/Toddler Swim Fun (Saturdays)
We
are so fortunate to have access to a small, heated pool, located within our
space on the first floor of the Three Rivers Building. It's warm, cozy and calm and unlike any
other pool we've seen in Central MA. Come
experience the difference yourself!
It's only 30' x 17' in size and 3' - 5' deep, and heated between 88-90
degrees (ahhh, comfy for everyone!).
Due to the small size, class sizes cannot exceed 7 for parent-child
classes, and 6 is the minimum to run a class (so tell your friends!). Now you don't have to deal with loud and crowded pools with
dirty or busy locker rooms! When
you come to our pool, it's one class at a time and private showers, too!

Our
swim instructor, Holly Johnson, has been involved in aquatics for many years
providing instruction to both adults and children. Throughout her career she
has worked to provide a safe environment for water exploration at area pools
and summer camps. As a mother of a ten- month-old, she understands the
importance of early introduction to water and encourages early swimming.
She is approachable, fun, interactive and is thrilled to be working with little
swimmers and their families at MoCo.
