Primera visita
Your first visit
A placement visit is a short time in the water with an instructor, so we can suggest the right level before your swimmer joins a class. Ask for it in English or in Spanish.

Step 1: Call, text or book

Step 2: A short time in the water
Your swimmer gets in with an instructor, on the step or within arm's reach, while you watch from the bench. The visit takes about twenty minutes, and a swimmer can get out at any time.

What the instructor looks at
There are no right answers at a placement visit. The instructor notices how a swimmer gets in, how they float with support, how they kick and whether they like putting their face in, then picks the level where the first class will fit.

Floating with support
Kicking and moving through the water
Blowing bubbles and wetting the face
