Children Of The Sea
Safe, fun swim lessons for babies & kids. Small classes, warm 91 degree water, & trained instructors!
Children of the Sea, or Keiki Kai in Hawaiian, was founded in the early eighties by owner, Lynne Zavrski. After years of experience within aquatics, Lynne decided to start her own school. In 1982, Lynne founded Keiki Kai, teaching private lessons in her backyard and then from 1982 to 1990, Lynne also taught swimming in city and county pools in and around Oahu. It was there that she began to develo

Baby swim lessons offer numerous benefits for both babies and parents. They promote physical development by strengthening muscles and improving coordination, while also boosting cognitive growth through sensory stimulation. These lessons help babies feel comfortable in water and teach early water safety skills, building confidence and trust. Bonding with parents is enhanced through shared experiences, and socialization with other babies encourages emotional growth. Regular swim lessons contribute to a baby’s health, immune system, and overall well-being. Start your baby’s aquatic journey today and give them the skills, confidence, and joy that will last a lifetime! Register today at www.childrenofthesea.com!

Today marks one year since we closed our doors due to COVID-19. Since that time, we have completed construction of our swimming pool and facility at our new Portland location (10225 SW Park Way). We were able to open mid-Fall 2020 for private swim lessons for about 8 weeks before being shut down again due to the rise in COVID-19 cases. Recently, we have been able to run some private pool rentals for our current clientele.
I want to take this time to thank our families that have kept credits on their account and continued to wait for us to reopen. I would also like to thank the families who donated their Spring 2020 credits and for the countless families who sent emails asking how our staff and company were doing and continuing to ask when we are able to open. We hope to open for previous and new families in the next few months as COVID-19 cases decline. (All updates will be posted on our website www.childrenofthesea.com)
Melissa at Aedan Studio Photography was gracious enough to offer our swim school a free photo shoot. For those families who have been unable to see our new facility, I would love to share the amazing photos Melissa captured.
We hope that our staff, patrons, and future clients continue staying safe and healthy. We can't wait to open our doors and see our little fish again. We miss you guys tremendously and would not still be here today without your support.
Swimmingly,
Children of the Sea
