Making Waves Swim School

We are currently in our Spring Session

dates are April 7-May 12

Fall registration will begin July 22, 2024

First day of Fall Session 2024 is September 15, 2024

Making Waves is a swim school that offers a three-season lesson program serving kids (ages 3-10+) Our staff is made up of talented young adults who are swimmers/swim teachers from St. Olaf College. Parents enjoy on-deck seating during their child’s 30-minute swim lesson in a 90 degree warm water facility. With small class sizes and an innovative one-of-a-kind curriculum, we have successfully taught over 40,000 lessons since 2002. We start with water safety skills and offer a creative, sequential curriculum that develops all four swimming strokes. Our lessons keep kids coming back for more!

Please join us as we are so excited to continue to offer our homegrown program to the Northfield community and beyond!

Note about swim suits: We have seen a big increase in wearing swim shirts. While this is good for protection from the sun and keeping the body warm, neither is a concern at Making Waves, as we are indoors with 90 degree water. Eliminating the shirt greatly enhances body balance and arm stroke development. Please work with your child if they typically wear one. Thank you!
