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!

You can look on the LESSONS page to find detailed descriptions of the skills needed for each level. Or you can contact Making Waves for any skill level questions you might have. Contact email: makingwavesmn@gmail.com and we will be happy to get back to you! *In the subject line please write “SWIM LEVEL QUESTION.”
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!
Lesson Levels
We offer a progressive approach for ages 3-10+. The progressive approach in a small group setting allows for each student to have individualized instruction and grow their skill set based on their ability.
