ONYX Aquatics · Swim lessons
Lessons for every swimmer, 4 months to 12 years.
Year-round indoor swim lessons for children of all skill levels. A fun, structured approach that builds water safety skills and confidence in a warm, supportive environment.
Consistent. Warm. Built for progress.
One lesson a week
Every weekly enrollment includes one 30-minute lesson. Most families swim once a week, every week, year-round.
A 4:1 ratio, tops
Small classes mean personalized attention. Baby classes cap at 6:1 with parents in the water, and independent baby classes at 3:1.
Warm 90-degree water
Our climate-controlled indoor pool keeps lessons consistent in every season, no matter the Ohio weather.
Up to 12 make-up lessons
Life happens. Flexible scheduling and free make-up lessons keep progress on track for busy families.
Five levels. One path.
Every class builds on the previous one, so your child progresses at their own pace, whether they are just starting out or mastering advanced technique. Not sure where they fit? Enroll and our team will place them, or start with a free intro lesson. People of all abilities are welcome, and custom private lessons are available for any swimmer who needs a plan built around them.
Level 0
4 to 35 monthsParent and child lessons
The very first step in the water, together. Parents join every lesson as babies build comfort, bonding, and early water safety skills through songs, games, and gentle guided play.
Level 1
3 to 11 yearsIntroduction to the water
A gentle introduction to the water. Swimmers become comfortable submerging, overcome their fears, and build the foundational confidence every next skill stands on.
Level 2
3 to 11 yearsFirst independent lessons
The step into independent swimming. Young swimmers build confidence, kicking, floating, and safe water entry and exit, all with an instructor never more than an arm away.
Level 3
3 to 11 yearsStrong foundational skills
Beginner and intermediate swimmers develop the core skills that matter: floating, breath control, coordinated kicks, and forward glides, at their own pace.
Level 4
3 to 11 yearsWhere the strokes begin
The level where strokes are introduced. Swimmers comfortable in the water learn freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly through structured drills and weekly feedback.
Stroke Development Clinic
3 to 11 yearsOur swim team
A weekly competition-based team experience for advanced swimmers. Endurance, race technique, and teamwork in a fun, encouraging environment.
Semi-private and private lessons.
Arrange lessons around your schedule, not ours. Semi-private lessons let you share the class with friends or family in a small class setting, while private lessons are fully one on one with focused attention. Both are arranged on your time, and they never expire.
Semi-private lessons
3 to 12 yearsIndividual attention, shared with friends or family
Two swimmers, one instructor. Share the class with a friend, sibling, or family member in a small class setting built around you. Arrange lessons on your time, and they never expire.
Private lessons
3 to 12 yearsOne on one. Fully focused. On your schedule.
The full private lesson: one swimmer, one instructor, focused attention on every stroke. Arrange private lessons on your time, and they never expire.
Learning that feels like play.
Our curriculum uses progression-based interactive play, because when learning is fun, children feel less pressure, relax, and engage more. Instructors use positive reinforcement and plenty of patience to help every child feel comfortable progressing at their own pace, from basic water safety all the way to pro-level technique.
