Welcome to Water Wings!

Water Wings Swim, founded in 2005 by Dr. Zeke Alejandro at the Inman Park Pool in Atlanta, is an entirely outdoor swim lessons company dedicated to empowering children to become skilled swimmers in a safe and engaging setting.

The way we teach swimming is influenced by the Montessori method, which emphasizes the importance of allowing children to learn at their own pace while gradually mastering essential skills. We understand that being both behaviorally and emotionally prepared is vital to becoming a skilled swimmer.

Under Zeke's leadership, who holds a doctorate in curriculum and instruction, our team of trained educational practitioners and seasoned swim instructors has developed a curriculum that is both playful and structured. Our program incorporates age-appropriate teaching techniques and is regularly updated and refined based on the latest child development and pedagogy research.

At Water Wings Swim, we prioritize creating an engaging atmosphere where children thrive. Our highly trained instructors maintain a 1:2 swimmer/instructor ratio for Learn-to-Swim classes and 1:3 for Become-a-Skilled-Swimmer courses and adapt their teaching style to meet each child's unique needs, providing personalized attention and support.

We are grateful for the opportunity to join your child, from swim lessons to swim stories.

WE LOOK FORWARD TO MAKING SKILLED SWIMMERS TOGETHER!
