Swim Lessons

Sailfish Splash Waterpark offers swimming classes that are tailored to the needs of each child, so that he or she can progress at a comfortable pace. Some children may advance more quickly or slowly, our instructors ensure that everyone receives the instruction they need.

Our certified swimming instructors conduct lessons in the waterpark’s 25-yard, temperature-controlled teaching and warm-up pool, with depths ranging from 3 ½ feet to 6 feet.

What to Expect:

In the Learn-to-Swim program, parents or guardians of children up to 3 years of age are required to actively participate in their kids' swim lessons. This not only helps increase the child's comfort level in the water, but can help parents understand the process and practice skills with their children between classes.
