For more than 20 years, the aquatic educators at Sea Otter Swim Lessons have been offering age-appropriate classes in swim and stroke development. Designed for children 4–36 months, Parent Tot classes cover water exploration, breath control, and safety skills over the course of four 30-minute sessions. Parents can slap on their old water wings and vestigial tails before jumping into Sea Otter's 92-degree pool, where tykes grow comfortable in the water through use of songs and games.

For wee ones 4 and older, Sea Otter's semiprivate lessons will match swimmers with a partner of their same skill level as they receive instruction in a progression of animal-themed skill levels. Over four 30-minute sessions, tiny swimmers learn to float comfortably in the water and practice breathing in Frog before graduating to pop-up breaths, independent freestyle, and elementary backstroke in Fish. Toddlers 12 months and older can also benefit from four weeks of one-on-one private lessons. Students will spend each 20-minute session learning to master mature swim stages such as Sea Otter and Dolphin from their instructor, with optional trident-tossing instruction held after each class.
