Winter swimming at Makai is taking shape! ❄️🌊
We’re planning FastTrack-style sessions for January and February with 8 lessons packed into 4 weeks, giving swimmers more frequent practice and consistency during the winter months.
And yes, we’re planning for the weather too! The pool would be covered with a dome-style structure to help protect the pool and our swimmers from the colder, wetter elements.
We’re still gathering feedback as we finalize the details. Even if you already completed our survey, take another peek! We’ve added a few questions about Swim With Me classes and potential Open Swim hours.

New for 2027: Adaptive Swim Lessons 🧡🌊
Over the past year, we’ve continued learning, training, and taking a closer look at how we can better serve swimmers who benefit from additional support or accommodations.
Through our certifications and continued education with Swim Angelfish, our team has become better trained and more informed in how we approach adaptive swim instruction. And as our knowledge has grown, we’ve realized our program needs to grow with it.
One of those changes is rethinking our IEP requirement. We know that not every swimmer who would benefit from adaptive instruction has a formal IEP through the public school system. We’re working to make our requirements more inclusive so we can better serve the broader adaptive needs community.
Our Adaptive Swim Lessons provide individualized, one-on-one instruction tailored to each swimmer’s needs, comfort level, and goals while participating alongside other children in a small-group pool setting. Lessons may incorporate sensory-friendly approaches, play-based activities, and therapeutic play techniques.
We’re excited to take what we’ve learned and use it to make Makai a more informed, supportive, and accessible place for our swimmers. 🧡

With Early Registration coming up, now’s a great time to start thinking about which class setting is the best fit for your swimmer! 🌊
Private lessons and group classes both have their benefits, and the right choice really depends on how your child learns, what they’re working toward, and where they feel most comfortable.
Swipe through for a quick refresher on the differences between the two! ➡️
Still not sure what to register for? Ask us! We’re happy to help guide you toward the best fit before registration opens. 💙
📅 Early Registration: October 24–31

Every day is a good day to swim… and apparently we took that pretty literally. 😂🌊
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday…
If you’re looking for us, there’s a very good chance we’re at the pool. 🧡
Six days a week. A whole lot of swimming. Just how we like it.

Early Registration is coming up, so let’s make sure you know exactly what level to choose for your swimmer! 🌊
Our levels are based on what your swimmer is ready to do in the water, not simply their age. From getting comfortable putting their face in the water to building endurance and refining all four strokes, each level builds on the skills that come before it.
Swipe through to see what we’re looking for at each stage ➡️
Not sure where your swimmer belongs? Ask us before you register! We’d much rather help you find the right fit from the start. 🧡
📅 Early Registration: October 24–31

🌈 There’s a reason we start our lessons with Rainbow Swims!
This familiar warm-up is doing a lot more than getting our swimmers moving. Rainbow Swims help teach directional swimming, body awareness, and how to turn back toward the step or wall if they ever move away from it.
They also give our instructors a chance to check in with each swimmer. How are they feeling in the water today? Are they confident, cautious, excited, or needing a little extra support?
And because we start this way consistently, swimmers know exactly what to expect when class begins. 🧡
Simple, familiar, and packed with purpose. That’s the Makai Method. 🌊
