Hear What Our Families Are Saying!

"Bear Paddle has bent over backwards helping both of my kids feel successful. After being stuck in the same class for 1.5 years elsewhere, my daughter moved up to the next level in four months at Bear Paddle. We couldn’t be happier with the care and education our kids are receiving!"

Swimming Lesson FAQs

If you have concerns regarding our lessons, schedules, or health protocols, here are some FAQs we compiled for your assurance:

Our maintenance and cleaning team disinfects each location regularly. These places and other on-site objects include door handles, tables, floors, benches, sinks, fixtures, toilets, and diaper-changing stations. Our caretakers also clean the shower stalls and changing stations after each use. We also provide hand sanitizer for all of our students. Moreover, the chlorinated water and ultraviolet filtration system offer complete protection for our customers and employees.

Bear Paddle tests the water chemistry of pools before, during, and after every 30-minute shift. This way, we can guarantee compliance with CDC’s guidelines. In terms of disinfection, we use chlorinated water and ultraviolet light to kill 99.99% of disease-causing bacteria and viruses. Moreover, most of our pools utilize Defender Filtration systems powered with Diatomaceous Earth (DE) media. 

Due to these filters, we can remove particles up to one micron. For better understanding, red blood cells are approximately 5 microns, so our disinfection systems provide a safe swimming experience for you and your family.

All students are required to bring a towel and a swimsuit. Students under the age of three are also required to wear a disposable or reusable swim diaper. While our facility is completely equipped with the necessary tools for all our swim lessons, children can choose to bring their own goggles if they want.

If you have already decided to enroll in our swim school, you can register by visiting bearpaddle.com, calling our customer service hotline, or going to one of our locations. Schedule a class now and experience the Bear Paddle difference!

In addition to our numerous swimming lessons for kids, Bear Paddle also has adult swim lessons, CPR training sessions, and specialized swim programs for people with disabilities and special needs. Like our other classes, these lessons are available in group, semi-private, and private sessions led by our expert swim coaches.
