Swim Lessons
We know your child doesn’t play in the pool with lap swim while on vacation. So why learn how to only do laps?
COMPASS aquatics is more than lap swim.
This program is unique because we teach how to swim using play. We don’t find many young kiddos going to a pool and swimming laps for fun. Our lessons teach how to play, swim, and be in the pool safely while including direct skills, instruction, and becoming a stronger and more confident swimmer through every class.

I love being able to work with people of any age to spread this passion, get them comfortable in the water and loving swimming! Outside of school, I enjoy reading, painting and spending time with my dog."
Tara
All Levels Swim Instructor
"I have been an educator for over 15 years, guiding young ones and adults as they build their confidence while growing their new skill sets. Whether in the pool, behind the piano, on the stage or on the yoga mat, working with others brings me immense joy. It's truly an honor and humbling experience to walk alongside others as they embark upon their learning journeys. When I'm not teaching you can find me singing at weddings and other events with my live band, working out on the yoga mat, or hiking around the tristate area."
Child & Family Approved
I couldn't believe how much time my child spent sitting on the edge of the pool with other another program. With COMPASS Aquatics my child is in the pool swimming the whole time.
