About this class

If you're looking for a "Mommy and Me" style class, Children of the Sea offers Parent Baby and Parent Tot classes for kiddos aged 4 months to 35 months. These classes are designed to help your little one get comfortable in the water while you’re right there with them. With small class sizes and certified instructors, it's a great way to bond and build water confidence together. I know juggling schedules can be tough, but this could be a fun and rewarding activity for both of you.

Parents rave about how their little ones go from timid to totally confident swimmers, diving in with big smiles after just a few classes at Children of the Sea.

Both my young children’s water confidence and swimming skills exploded after we switched to lessons from Children of the Sea. The class sizes are kept small so each teacher is able to give plenty of attention to their students which really makes a difference. As we have progressed through the classes we have worked with a number of different teachers and every one of them has been excellent. The building is family oriented and designed so getting kids in and out of their swim gear is simple. They also loaned me a spare towel on a week I had forgotten them. Their classes fill up quickly so if you have a child that is close to being ready to start, get on the wait list early.

This place is fabulous. It is clean, the teachers are nice and loving. And each kid gets so much attention. They learn to swim and have a fun loving experience. I am loving it

Love the new facility! Very clean and spacious! The kids love the warm water which for some reason swim schools in Portland just cannot figure out what an asset that is. Only issues we have with children of the sea is the demand is really high and they baby the kids too much. The teaching philosophy is good but they need to be a little more aggressive on letting the child become more self sufficient. In Arizona we went to gold medal swim in Tempe and our then 2 year could jump off the sides into the water with street clothes and find the wall. They did not baby children due to the high number of drowning in Arizona. Children of the sea needs to realize that children are resilient and need to be pushed. Our then 3 year could swim independently and backstroke 25m. Our current 3 year is not remotely close to doing so here.

My kid has been going here for several years now and she absolutely loves the instructors. She's gone from timid little girl to swimming like a fish and jumping into the pool with confidence.

I heard about this place from another mom - the selling point was that the water was warm. Turns out the swimming instruction is solid too. May kiddo has been going here for 2 years now. I recommend it!
