At Diventures, we’re invested in your child’s success just like you are. Start with a free trial lesson to assess your child’s skills, meet with a swim teacher, see our facility, and get placed in the right class.Â
Where giggles and googles unite
Diventures is all about safety and fun in the water. Our teaching techniques focus on individual swim goals and achievements to make your child a better swimmer sooner. Introducing your child to swim lessons at a young age is one of the most effective and important steps toward water safety.
We offer swim lessons for all ages and skills levels, even as young as two months old. Our swim teachers have 40+ hours of training and love working with kids. Most of our classes have a 4:1 student-to-teacher ratio and swimmers are grouped together by age and ability, so your child gets the attention they need to grow their confidence in the water.Â
Classes meet on the same day each week, with weekday, evening and Saturday morning times. We offer simple monthly billing ($115/month) that guarantees a spot in your preferred class time for future months.
Our Classes
Baby & Toddler
Ages 2-35 months
Designed for babies as young as 2 months (or whenever mom & dad are ready!), these classes are divided by skill, age, and comfort level. Swimmers will transition from hands-on classes with a parent in the water to independent classes with kids their age. Expect your little one to learn how to float on their back, how to climb out of the water, how to safely go underwater, and how to swim short distances independently.
Level 1
Ages 3-15 years
Level 1 is designed for young and introductory-level swimmers. Classes are divided by skill level and age with consideration given to keeping swimmers in classes with like-aged classmates. Safety skills are introduced first and progressively built on in subsequent sessions. Parents can expect to see their swimmer learn how to float on their back, climb out of the water, safely go underwater for the first time, and swim short to moderate distances independently and efficiently.
Level 2
Ages 5-15 years
Level 2 is designed for swimmers that have established confidence and ability in the water. Classes are divided by skill level and age with consideration given to keeping swimmers in classes with like-aged classmates. Safety skills are expanded upon and established skills are used to develop more technical skills and endurance. Parents can expect to see their swimmer learn how to breathe efficiently while swimming, swim on their back, expand their underwater skills, and learn skills that will be developed into the four recognized competitive strokes.
Level 3
Ages 5-17 years
Level 3 is designed for swimmers that have established endurance and technical skill in the water. Classes are divided by skill level and age with consideration given to keeping swimmers in classes with like-aged classmates. Established skills are developed into the recognized competitive strokes. Parents can expect to see their swimmer learn basic stroke drills, flip turns, and how to swim Freestyle, Backstroke, Breaststroke, Butterfly, and the IM.
Swim Team Prep
Ages 6-17 years
Swim Team Prep is designed for swimmers that have established all four competitive strokes, their accompanying drills, and flip turns. Practice is run with similarly aged swimmers grouped as they would be for swim meets. Strokes are adjusted to provide the swimmer with the best times in competition as well as efficiency over distance. Parents can expect to see their swimmer better their stroke times, change their stroke to meet strict competition standards, build endurance for the demand of swim team practices and build team skills.
