WARM SALTWATER POOL

At our Bear Paddle facilities, the warm 90°F saltwater pool and sophisticated pool sanitation system delivers a comfortable and clean swimming environment. Children will experience clean water and air that is gentle totheir skin, eyes, and lungs.

SMALL CLASSES

Classes are structured by age and ability to accommodate varying abilities within each age group. Our classes have no more than four students per Swim Teacher with the exception to classes that require parent participation.

FUN SWIM LESSONS

Our story-based lesson plans are designed from a child’s perspective to keep children engaged and learning throughout their Swim Lessons. Each Swim Lesson has an element of Safety, Endurance, Creativity, and Swimming Without Goggles. The Challenge of the Week is designed to increase awareness of these four elements. Each child progresses at their own pace and is recognized for their accomplishments with our Skill Patches!

DESIGNED FOR KIDS

Our Bear Paddle facilities are truly kid-friendly. Amenities include family-style changing rooms, baby changing stations, private showers, hair dryers, and lockers. For families, we offer seating on the pool deck, multiple air conditioned viewing areas, movies playing all day, and free Wi-Fi. Don’t forget to visit the Patch Rewards Corner to capture photos of the memorable moments when Skill Patches are earned!
