Programs

This program emphasizes stroke development through six levels. Children learn a range of skills, from kicking and arm scoops in level one to flip turns and perfecting all four competitive swim strokes in level six. Progressive skill learning challenges your child from level to level. Participants previously enrolled are placed in the appropriate class. New students are tested then placed in a level on the first day of class.

Designed to meet the needs of children ages 3 to 5, this course will develop a high comfort level in the water and a readiness to swim, and for those children who are developmentally ready, it will teach functional swim skills. This class approaches teaching swimming through creative, fun activities in the water. Students work toward developing the five competencies and progress toward achieving the benchmarks at their own pace in a small-group setting.
