Our focus is giving your child the skills they need to be resilient in the water. We have the knowledge and education to prepare your child for surviving and thriving in the water. We specialize in alleviating the stress associated with children being in the water. Beyond each lesson, your child will learn to love the water and their strength will shine through in each swim. 
Swimming Lessons Made For Children 5 Months & Up! Young children and babies are naturally the most resilient in the water, and they adapt quicker by relying on their muscle memory. The earlier the better, when it comes to starting your child’s swim education and water safety. Learning to swim at a young age provides a lifelong skill that children can carry with them throughout their lives. With continued survival swimming lessons, you will feel confident in your child and they will learn how to have continued power in the water!

Swim Palekana

Palekana, a Hawaiian word meaning safety, is the founding principle of each lesson at Swim Palekana: to achieve life saving skills when it comes to swimming. 

From many years of teaching swimming lessons, several of them were specifically in survival swimming. In this, I was able to master the fundamental skills that every child needs to be safe in the water. The foundation of each lesson with Swim Palekana is a continued emphasis on safety, resilience, and perseverance. With guaranteed expertise, you can know that your child is receiving the best instruction possible. 

We prioritize safety so that parents and children alike can feel confident in and out of the water! 

  • Care and safety
  • Love for children
  • Work experience
  • Higher education
Know Before You Go

Getting Started

Schedule Lessons

01

Don’t let the stress of your child swimming hold you back! Schedule your first lesson, and start your child on the path to resilient and safe swimming. Create your profile, add one child or multiple and any information you would like us to know about them. After purchasing lessons, you are then able to schedule any time and day that best works for you. 

What To Bring

02

Getting ready for your lesson is easy! You will need to bring a towel and swimsuit; gear such as goggles and flippers are optional. For those swimmers who are still in diapers; please read our water safety policy. (link to waiver)




Your First Lesson

03

With safety always in mind, the first lesson is spent getting to know your child’s personality, skills, and learning capabilities. From here, we will apply what we have learned from your child for future lessons. Rest assured, your child will be gaining proper swim knowledge at their level, and will leave each lesson with more water resilience.

Lesson Frequency

04

At Swim Palekana, every lesson is based on the child’s needs. Each path to safety may look different, and the frequency may vary. Beginner swimmers need consistency the most, so we recommend two to three times a week for lessons in order to make the most progress.

    FAQ

    Have questions?

    Refunds are available by contacting us unless lessons have expired or already scheduled and you do not notify us 24hrs before your lessons unless cancellation insurance is already purchased. You can also read the waiver for more information on your account. 

    We do enforce a 24hr notice policy for all lessons that are wishing to be canceled or rescheduled. Unless cancelation insurance is purchased. Then you will be able to cancel until right before the start time of your lesson that is scheduled. 

    Every child is unique and it is best to work at the pace that is best for the child. The goal is to move at a steady pace during each lesson, while continually prioritizing safety. While there may be no exact time frame for each child, you can feel assured that each lesson will cater to an individual approach that promotes the best results. 

    We recommend purchasing bundle lessons because when it comes to swim progression and comfortability in the water, children need consecutive lessons and training. Our lesson packages are strategically compiled to offer you the best price for the most lessons. Consistency and repetition is key when it comes to learning swim skills.

    Select the bundle that works best for you and your child. Rest assured that the best swim instruction is guaranteed!



    It is so important to treat water safety as another non-negotiable task for you and your child’s health. It should be viewed the same way as going to the dentist, doctor, or buckling up your seatbelt in a vehicle. Drowning is a leading cause of death for children in the United States, and it is essential for each child and parent to know how to prevent drowning. 

    Swim lessons give you and your child the necessary survival and safety skills to enter open bodies of water. Beyond the water, your child will also benefit from learning skills of resilience that extend into other areas of life. As a parent, you will be able to feel more confident in helping your child embrace water activities. Swim lessons benefit every family for the rest of their lives! 

    Our Swim Palekana service policy found on your account informs that we have a 24hr cancelation policy. We can not change or rearrange lessons the day of. You are welcome to come as soon as you can, safely and attend the rest of your scheduled lesson if running late.

    We do offer cancellation insurance (purchasing under “class”) for being late or no shows. This way you can cancel online until the minute before your lesson starts. This way you will not lose a lesson and can reschedule.

    We advise that you always contact us via phone or email to let your instructor know that you will be late/not make it.

    At Swim Palekana, your instructors are CPR certified in case of an emergency. Instructors are always trained one on one by the owner, Madi. Each instructor will know how to best teach your child how to be safe. 

    With many years of experience and safety as the first priority, you can feel confident that every instructor has your child’s best interest in mind. Our approach caters to your child and will always leave them feeling empowered and strong. 

    We are happy to answer any additional questions that you have about lessons, and want you to feel that you can completely trust our staff, lessons, and passion for swimming!  

    In my eight years of teaching swimming lessons and lifeguarding prior to that; I have revived two children from drowning and I have never experienced this incident. At Swim Palekana, we take every action necessary to prioritize safety. 

    You may have heard of the terms “dry drowning” and “secondary drowning.” They’re not medical terms but they do point to rare complications that can occur. With “dry drowning”, water never reaches the lungs. Instead, breathing in water causes your child’s vocal cords to spasm and close up. That shuts off their airways, making it hard to breathe. You would start to notice those signs right away — it wouldn’t happen out of the blue days later. “Secondary drowning” is another term people use to describe another drowning complication. It happens if water gets into the lungs. Both events are very rare. 

    To emotionally prepare your small child for swim lessons, it is best to prior expose them to water, especially in their face. We will teach them how to hold their breath but it immensely helps, if they have had prior introductions to the water. From here, our experts will help them grow into the swimmer you know they can be! 

    As included in our water safety policy, every child that is not fully potty trained must wear a snug fitting reusable swim diaper over a disposable swim diaper each time they are in the pool. 

    Create your profile, add one child or multiple and any information you would like us to know about them. After purchasing lessons, you are then able to schedule any time and day that best works for you. 

    If you need more assistance with scheduling lessons please contact us via phone or email.
