Year-round Swim Lessons for Children & Adults:

Beginner Swim Programs:

Exploration (6-36 months):
This class is designed for infants with a parent in the pool. The class goal is for the child to move from one point to another on their own bouyancy underwater and to use their arms and legs for propulsion. Songs and games are utilized to stimulate swimming motions and make the class enjoyable for your little one

Aquatot (24-36 months):
This class is for 2 and 3 year olds who are super confident in the water. Students are ready to be in a class without a parent or guardian. We focus on expanding student confidence in the water and introduce basic stroke mechanics.

Bubblemaker I and Bubblemaker II (3-5 years):
This class is designed for beginner swimmers who are 3- 5 years old. The goal is to teach the children to swim independently for 3-5 feet, using their arms and legs as a method of propulsion. Bubblemaker I is for students who are more nervous or timid in the water and Bubblemaker II is for those who are comfortable in the water without a floatation device.

Swim Starter I and Swim Starter II (6 years and older):
This class is for beginner swimmers who are 6 years and older. The class is divided into I and II depending on the students comfort level in the water. Students with a fear of the water will enroll in level I. Students that have not had stroke instruction, but are not fearful of the water, will be assigned to level II. The goal of this level is to gain independence and develop an arm stroke and kick as a method of propulsion.

Intermediate Swim Classes:

Wavecrawler I and Wavecrawler II:
Both classes are designed for swimmers who are able to swim at least 3-5 feet independently. In order to be in level II, swimmers must have an independent breath. In addition to a focus on breathing and stroke technique, treading water and sitting and kneeling dives are introduced.

Pool Shark classes are for students who can swim half of the pool length (12.5 meters) independently utilizing either the breast stroke, back stroke, or freestyle. Swimmers work on the front crawl, backstroke, elementary backstroke, and basic diving techniques.

Advanced Swim Classes:

This class is designed for stroke perfection and the introduction of the butterfly. Surface dives are taught and students work on endurance swimming.
