Located inside of Hampton Inn & Suites, our swim school is open year-round, so you can learn to swim when you're ready and continue until you've mastered the skills. We use gentle teaching methods and a survival-first approach to help swimmers of all levels become safer and more confident in the water. Our safe, fun, and effective teaching methods have made us the preferred choice for parents and students for over 40 years.

Private swimming lessons are subject to availability.

I wasn't sure my sensory-avoidant tween would ever learn to swim. Loud pool environments overwhelm…read morehim, and he needs to understand the plan and the why before trying something new. At other swim schools, instructors pushed him to put his face in the water instead of listening to his concerns, and it never worked. Zen Penguin was completely different. Their instructors truly listen to kids and meet them where they are. The coaches are calm, present, consistent, and incredibly kind. They take the time to build trust and confidence. Now my once water-avoidant tween cannonballs into the deep end with his friends. My younger child has thrived here too; he went from no swim skills to strong streamlines and rollovers in just a few months. I especially appreciate their focus on real safety skills, like making sure every child can back float to breathe so they have a way to self-rescue. We always have eyes on the kids when they swim - but now I have the peace of mind knowing they have the skills to stay safe even when they're out of arm's reach. Zen Penguin is truly something special.

My son had to go through the Dept of Labor to finally get paid for work done. It seems pretty unethical for an adult team administrator to take advantage of a minor. We had previously taken our younger 3 kids off the team due to inexperienced coaching, rapid coach turnover, and bad accounting where our bills were regularly wrong so I'm not sure if the refusal to pay was some sort of retaliation. Now we swim at CAT and have none of these issues with better coaching and better facilities.
