Class Options:
Tots (2-3 year olds): limited to 4 children - 30 minutes ** only offered at 6:30pm **
This class will introduce your child to the water, WITHOUT their parent/guardian being in the water with them.
Our goal is that they will put their face in and have fun, while introducing them to the basics of swim lessons.
Clingers (3 yr and older): limited to 5 participants/instructor ** multiple class options **
This class will focus on teaching your child to swim, independently, even for a short time, by the end of 6 weeks.
If your swimmer can already swim a short distance, then our focus will be to improve skills and confidence to swim longer.
Self-Supporter (5 yr and older): limited to 8 participants - 45 min class ** only offered at 5:30pm **
This class is for the child that can already swim 15 yards but still needs to work on learning other strokes and building endurance.

Endurance Grid is here to help you understand the sport, decide if it’s the right fit, and learn how to prepare. For course distances, logistics, and race-day specifics, always defer to the race organizer’s event page.
Swimming events drop you into something that demands navigation, feel, and focus all at once. It's a sport that rewards the quietly competitive — the ones who do the work in the water before anyone's watching.
Open water races take place in lakes, rivers, bays, and oceans. Distances can run anywhere from a short 500m swim to 10K marathon events. Just you and the water.
