You can register your child with Aquado from as young as 6 months! It's the perfect opportunity to introduce your baby to water at a young age so they develop comfort in the water. From around age 3, children typically have the motor skills needed to learn to swim on their own and then master the different swimming strokes. If you register multiple children, they will have their private lessons one after another in your pool.
Yes! Aquado was the first company in Quebec to offer the Parent and Child, Preschool, Swimmer and Junior Lifeguard programs from the Quebec Lifesaving Society directly in residential pools (above-ground and in-ground). This is greatly appreciated by families, as it makes the transition back to group lessons in winter easier: children keep their progress booklet and continue in the same program at the same level.
During light rain, at-home swimming lessons can continue without any issue. However, when the weather is unsafe for swimming (thunderstorms, heavy rain, extreme cold), our certified instructors offer an out-of-water lesson focused on water safety, first aid and rescue, adapted to the swimmer's age. It's a unique added value at Aquado!
During the summer, our instructors travel to homes only, meaning to our clients' backyards or their condo pool. Many families who don't have a pool go to grandparents' or friends' homes to use their pool. It's a practical and very popular solution!
Every child progresses at their own pace, but we recommend that beginner swimmers over 2 years old take a package of 8 at-home swimming lessons during the summer. With Aquado's one-on-one private formula, the majority of children aged 3 and up learn to swim in a single summer. For younger children (6 months to 2 years), a 4 to 6 lesson package provides excellent water familiarization.
Aquado offers packages of 4, 6 or 8 private at-home swimming lessons. Prices vary based on the number of swimmers registered (1 to 4 children per family). Visit our Rates page for detailed pricing, or contact us at (514) 432-7686 for a personalized quote.
An Aquado swimming lesson is planned for 30 minutes per child but can be extended if needed. Lessons for children under 2 always last 30 minutes, while lessons for older children can be 45 or 60 minutes long. This duration is optimal for maintaining attention and maximizing learning in a private setting.
Absolutely! All Aquado instructors are certified by the Quebec Lifesaving Society and hold their Swimming Instructor, National Lifeguard and First Aid certifications. They also receive ongoing internal training at Aquado to ensure a safe and high-quality learning experience.
Aquado's private at-home lessons offer several advantages over public pool lessons: 100% individual attention from the instructor, faster progress, flexible schedule adapted to your family, learning in a familiar and comfortable environment for the child, no travel or waiting in locker rooms, and personalized follow-up.
Yes, that's precisely one of the great advantages of private at-home lessons! Our certified instructors are trained to support fearful children at their own pace, without pressure. The familiar environment of your own pool greatly helps the child feel safe.
Aquado's at-home swimming lesson season generally runs from June to August. Registration opens in the spring and spots fill up quickly, especially in popular areas like Montreal, Laval, the North Shore and the South Shore.
Aquado serves over 45 cities in the Greater Montreal area, including Montreal, Laval, Longueuil, Brossard, Terrebonne, Blainville, Repentigny, Boucherville, Saint-Bruno, Chambly and many more.
Registration is done directly on our website via the Registration page. Choose your package (4, 6 or 8 lessons), select the number of swimmers, and complete the booking of your lesson dates with the instructor in your area.
Yes! Although our lessons are primarily designed for children, Aquado also offers private swimming lessons for beginner or intermediate adults. Whether you want to learn to swim, overcome your fear of water or refine your technique, our certified instructors adapt to your goals.
Aquado water surveillance bookings can range from 2 to 5 hours, and even more. The same certified lifeguard will be present for the entire duration of your booking.
The maximum number of swimmers depends on the size of your pool and the age of your swimmers. As a general rule, a maximum of 20 swimmers is allowed per lifeguard. For larger events, contact us to plan for the necessary number of lifeguards.
Our lifeguard brings all necessary equipment for supervision and first aid. On your end, you simply need to provide a shaded area, a chair for the lifeguard, and floaties for young swimmers who need them. It's a turnkey service!
You can book an Aquado lifeguard for all your occasions: kids' pool parties, family events, barbecues with friends, neighbourhood gatherings, or simply to enjoy your pool with complete peace of mind while your children swim.
