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!

Compare your typical swim classes (anywhere else, really) to ours:

HollyOur 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.
