Classes
This caregiver/child swim class helps families become acclimated to the pool and learn to enjoy the water together through games and songs taught in a group setting. An adult is required to be in the water during class.
Children will become acclimated to the water through fun games, while learning basic safety skills, water submersion, and floating with assistance.
In this class, children will learn to float on their front (with their face in the water) and on their backs for at least 5 seconds. Additionally, they will begin to learn to propel themselves forward using a basic flutter kick.
Children will learn fundamental freestyle and backstroke skills, with emphasis placed on the coordination and timing of the strokes as well as the development of a strong flutter kick.
Children will work to improve their freestyle and backstroke while learning all four competitive strokes. Emphasis will be placed on developing strokes that are legal for swim meets.
This class is designed for adults with little or no experience swimming. The instructor will guide students through activities that can be accomplished at an individual pace while building confidence and comfort in the water.
Our Swim Team Clinic puts an emphasis on learning proper stroke technique over speed. This foundation ensures that students’ progress much faster when the time comes for them to work on speed. In addition to group instruction, the children also have the opportunity to receive individual attention from the instructor. The children work on advanced skills that are beyond basic swimming, such as starts from the deck and flip turns. This class is fast paced, fun, and the children build strength and stamina while learning.
