Two great packages, same great program
Bear Paddle’s six-level swim program is delivered by certified coaches who track progress monthly to ensure your child is becoming a safe and confident swimmer. Our basic package includes one weekly group swim lesson with a small class size in a 90-degree heated pool to maximize comfort and peer learning. For families looking to make faster progress, our upgraded package includes a monthly private lesson for dedicated, one-on-one coaching.

Our curriculum is designed to teach critical survival skills with the foundational elements of swimming, and build on their skills as they progress through our 6-level system. Our monthly in-water evaluations and progress reports track your child’s progress so they graduate into the next level when they are ready, not when our schedule tells them to. Our Progress Patches serve as a reward system to celebrate every new swim skill they learn!
Our Teddy Program includes parent/child classes for kids under 3. This focuses on getting your child comfortable in the water, learning critical survival skills, and starts the basics of kicking, paddling and floating. Kids are grouped together appropriately by age, either 6 -18 months or 19 - 36 months.
Levels 1-3 master the critical reflexes for a child's ability to self-rescue in a water emergency. Your child will also know how to do the foundational elements of the front crawl, back crawl, and start learning the breaststroke.
Levels 4 and 5 include mastery of all aspects of the freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke, which are life-long swim strokes.
The final step of our program is designed for kids who want to pursue competitive swimming. With a focus on mastering the butterfly, breaststroke, and competitive turns, you will be well prepared to pursue a swim team.
