Our History
Report
La Petite Baleen began in the backyard pool of John Kolbisen and Irene Madrid's Half Moon Bay home in 1979. As public school teachers, they were looking for a creative outlet for their love of children and the water. With three young children of their own and several local families, they developed an in-depth curriculum and ribbon level system for their "aquatic classroom".

Infants
Report
Some parents worry about putting their children in a pool before they're old enough to walk, but the benefits of getting your kids splashing around in the water as babies can pay off for a lifetime. Improved safety: Some parents worry that being comfortable in water can increase the risk of drowning for infants because they will get too close to pools or lakes.
Childrens
Report
Getting your kid into the pool and learning to swim at an early age gets them comfortable with water and teaches them a skill that can greatly improve their quality of life and safety. Improved safety: According to Safe Kids Worldwide, about 800 children drown in the U.S. every year. This can happen in pools, in natural bodies of water, or even at home.
