We welcome swimmers as young as 6 months old in our Infant & Toddler Water Safety program. These early sessions focus on water acclimation, gentle floating techniques, and building trust alongside a parent.
We maintain a strict maximum ratio of 1:4 (1 coach per 4 students) for all youth and beginner group classes. Keeping groups small ensures every swimmer receives constant individual attention and personalized stroke correction.
For your first day, please bring a swim suit, a towel, and dry clothes. Naoda provides a complimentary branded swim cap for all new enrollees! Goggles are recommended for children aged 4+ and adults learning stroke mechanics, but they are optional for infant acclimation classes. Swim diapers are required for children under 3 years old.
Water anxiety is completely normal, and our coaches are specifically trained in child psychology and gentle acclimation. We never force or rush a hesitant student. We work at their comfort pace—starting at the pool edge with splash games and floating toys—to build organic trust before moving deeper into the water.
We understand that family schedules and illnesses happen! Naoda offers flexible makeup vouchers. As long as you notify us via the parent portal at least 2 hours prior to your scheduled class, you will receive a makeup credit to book any open slot within 60 days.
