LEARN TO SWIM

Parent-Child (6-36 months)

The Parent/Child class emphasizes water adjustment, parenting skills and water safety. Special attention is given to the varying developmental stages of this group. Goals for this program include the child’s enjoyment and adjustment in and around the water, while instructing parents how to assist in the development of their children's future swimming skills.

Pre-School (3-5 years)

The preschool children work under the direct supervision of qualified instructors to learn basic swimming techniques, water safety, confidence in and around the water. Children will progress at his/her own pace.

These students fit into either Pike, Eel, Ray or Starfish.

Progressive (6-12 years)

Progressive swim lessons develop the child toward student-centered learning. This forty-five minute program offers personal safety, personal growth, stroke development, water games, sports and basic water rescue. Child should be aware of and follow pool rules. The instructor will develop the students technique and will introduce more strokes, as the child progresses.

These students fit into either Polliwog, Guppy or Minnow.

Adult (16+)

It’s never too late to learn the best overall exercise! Lap swimming provides a great workout, while the water provides resistance yet support. For those with joint problems, this can be your best activity to maintain mobility and strength!
