Q: What do I need to bring to my lessons?
A: Utah law requires your children that are still in diapers to be double diapered. We sell re-usable swim diapers in the office, put one of these over a normal disposable diaper and you're good to go. Otherwise, bring a swimsuit and a towel and whatever else makes your child comfortable while swimming - goggles, swim caps, wetsuits.

Our office is located in the basement of our facility. Go down and check out, we'll then explain how everything works, answer any additional questions, and show you around.
