Membership pricing is posted by cadence, for 30-minute lessons:

  • One class a week: $130/mo group, $247/mo private.
  • Two classes a week: $243/mo group, $450/mo private.
Year-round lessons on a named level ladder, all 30 minutes (the top level runs 60–90). Parent & Me 1 and 2 take children from three months to three years with a parent in the water; Guppy (2–3½) is the first independent step. From there the ladder splits by age — Starfish, Seahorse and Otter for 3–5s, Jellyfish, Turtle and Stingray for 6–12s — then advanced Walrus and Orca classes for 3–12s working through breaststroke, butterfly and treading water. Group class caps are set per level and run from three to six swimmers. Private lessons and adult lessons run alongside. Membership is sold by cadence, one or two classes a week, and classes are browsed through the location's online schedule or a short class-finder quiz.

Our take

Water Wings competes on one thing above all: small classes. The Colleyville school caps lessons at four swimmers per instructor and is built around individual and small-group instruction — the pitch being more attention and faster progress, which matters most for a cautious or first-time swimmer. It's a year-round indoor operation, part of a national brand (an Unleashed Brands company) that has taught swimming since 2003.

It's built for families who want personalized lessons that put safety first over a big-program conveyor belt — babies and toddlers through adults, working from first splashes up through stroke technique. If you're after a competitive-team environment, this isn't it: the focus is water safety and confidence, with in-house swim meets as the ceiling rather than a select-team pipeline. For a Southlake family the real question is the drive — this is a Colleyville school, not a Southlake one, a short hop south.

Local Tips

The Colleyville school is on Colleyville Blvd (Hwy 26) with a warm indoor pool, so lessons run year-round. Class size is worth asking about directly, because the site says two different things: the brand pages claim a maximum of four students per instructor, while the level-by-level listings set the cap at three for the first independent classes (Guppy, Starfish), four for most of the ladder, and six for Parent & Me. Ask which cap applies to the level your child places into. Pricing is posted as a monthly membership rather than per lesson, priced by how many classes a week you want, and you can browse the schedule online or take the short quiz that recommends a level.
