Private Swim Lessons for Toddlers

North Seattle Swim School is the perfect place for ​Toddlers (1 - 2 years old) to learn water safety and become comfortable in the water. We exclusively offer private swim lessons, so your child can learn at the pace that's right for them. We understand that no two children are exactly the same, and we're able to customize our lessons to meet your specific goals and needs. Our pool is heated to about 91 degrees. Our toddler lessons are completely private with one instructor and one student. Toddler lessons are available on Mondays from 10:00 am - 2:00 pm.

We feel it's important to set expectations properly, especially with toddler lessons:

  1. The main points of emphasis are comfort in the water and water safety.

  2. For one and two year olds who are relatively new to the water, we prioritize comfort and fun so your child develops a positive relationship with the water and the instructor. That said, it's extremely common for one and two year olds to cry, especially in the beginning. 

  3. Water safety focuses on floating on the back and rotating from front and back. We don't focus on stroke technique until children are older and have more control over their bodies and are capable of processing instructions. 

  4. We don't believe in "dunking" children under the water. We will eventually work on light submersion, but not right away and not against the parent's or child's will.

We will go at the pace that's appropriate for your child, and they never have to feel pressured to keep up with others or feel held back because they're more advanced than the rest of the class. Your child has our swim instructor's undivided attention.

“We are very happy with our daughter's learnings. She has had big improvements. The coaches and owner are so cozy, every class they are giving us feedback.
Our daughter loves attending her swimming lesson. We definitely will enroll our younger daughter. I totally recommend this place.."

"My kiddo has gotten more comfortable and adventurous over this summer in the water so we decided to sign up for lessons to hone in on safety and proper skills. Lilly is very patient and in tune with my kiddos needs and comfort level, building much needed confidence in the water. I don't have any insight on any other instructors here but I highly recommend Lilly!"

“Definitely recommend if you’re looking for private swim lessons for your kids! Our daughter made significant improvements in just a few lessons. Great instructors, facilities and owners.”
