Parent-Child Play Sessions are an opportunity for parents of young and nervous children to get in the water to learn together! These classes max out at 5 swimmer/parent pairs per class.

Most students are 0-3 years old, but we can accommodate older nervous swimmers too!

Cost: $600 or 3 payments of $225

Semi-private lessons are 2 students to 1 teacher. This is our most popular option, to allow for social fun but enough focus to make significant progress quickly!

There will be one other class in the pool with a semi-private class, but we do make sure that we are setting up the schedule to accommodate the sensory needs of everyone in the pool (so anxious kids aren't taking a class next to wild and splashy kids)

Cost: $700 or 3 payments of $260

1-on-1 lessons are for students who need a little bit of extra attention, but don't need the whole space to themselves. This can be scheduled as a way for students who want to move to group or semi-private classes to practice being in the water with other students, while maintaining a 1:1 ratio for safety!

Cost: $975 or 3 payments of $350

Private Pool lessons are a 1;1 option, with no other students in the pool at the same time. This is designed for students who need extra space and attention

- also offered for covid cautious families!

Cost: $1500 or 3 payments of $525

Want the benefit of a Zen Penguin Instructor, using the Backfloat to Breathe method, but can't afford the regular rate? Have a kiddo that's a little more flexible and resilient?

Introducing our Jr Lessons with Coach Kat!

Coach Kat was one of the first students at Zen Penguin back in 2023. They came in like many of our students - anxious, unsure of how to put their face in, and with a past filled with not-so-great swim lesson experiences.

In the three years since they started, they not only learned to swim - they have learned to love the water, and the Zen Penguin Community. Kat is a founding member of Swim Club, a certified lifeguard, and is now our youngest trainee!

Zen Penguin holds our staff and lessons to an extremely high standard. We know that it's not just about the mechanics of learning to swim, it's about co-regulating with kids, and becoming a leader in the water. It's learning to be flexible, and accommodating so that every kid is met exactly where they are at. Kat is an expert at the mechanics, and an eager apprentice to learn the emotional side of our work.

This summer, Kat will be opening 1:1 spots to practice their skills under the supervision of Coach Penny and Coach Sarah. We are excited for them to take the next step, and learn to teach on their own this summer (with our careful support).
