Our Swim Instructors:
All of our instructors are life guard, CPR & First Aid certified and must complete our own Instructor’s Training Course (ITC) to be eligible to teach. This course covers everything from current teaching techniques to facility safety guidelines to issues such as making physical contact with participants.

We also require two yearly in-services and the successful completion of our advanced Swim School Skills Instructors Course for our upper 2 levels of instructors. This course is a composite of the exact skills and drills used to teach all athletes on our swimming team. The in-service is a hands-on, in-water course in which our instructors are properly versed on how to perform the Swim School skills. New instructors are also required to serve as apprentices with our program prior to being allowed to teach a class of their own. This structure simply makes it easier to teach, easier to learn and much more effective for all!
