Getting youngsters acclimated to the water is a crucial step in early development, as it helps separate the future belly-floppers from the wicked witches. Teach kids to swim through life instead of melting with today's Groupon: for $29, you get one month of swim lessons during March or April at Aqua-Tots Swim School (a $68 value). Choose from five locations: Mesa, Phoenix, Chandler, Queen Creek, and Peoria. Today's Groupon expires on April 30, 2011 and you must register for classes by March 31.

Since 1991, Aqua-Tots Swim School's comprehensive eight-level program has turned thousands of hydrophobes into probes of the aqueous abyss. Levels range from tadpoles (little swimmers aged 6–18 months) to stingrays, a level for swimmers of any age who can already freestyle independently with sidestroke and backstroke, but want to refine their skills. Class capacity never reaches more than four students in order to provide focused, individualized instruction and equitable splitting of double Popsicles. An active board member of the U.S. Swim School Association, Aqua-Tots Swim School doesn't just teach children how to swim; the rigorously trained instructors are dedicated to making a difference in the kids' lives through confidence-building encouragement and early space training to give them an edge in moon-college admissions.

Each indoor aquatic center included in today's deal features indoor pools to keep young frogs and seahorses practicing their strokes year-round. Lesson schedules vary at each location, so you can pick where and when works best for you.
