 PROGRAM OVERVIEW:

Parent & Child

  • 6 months to 36 months

  • Maximum of 4 children & their Parent/Guardian with 1 Instructor

  • Swim diapers are required. No food or drink 30 minutes prior to swim lesson.

  • This class is offered to those interested in increasing comfort in the water and developing survival floating skills. A parent or guardian must be with the swimmer for the entire session. Water or survival skills will encourage new abilities in the areas of motor development, language, emotional and social skills.

  • Children ages 6-36 months are introduced to the water through songs and games. The goals for this class are to have the children comfortable and happy in the water as well as learn the basic skills necessary to move on to Preschool level classes when age appropriate.

  • Skills Taught: Blowing Bubbles, Kicking Feet, Holding Breath, Floating on Back, Rolling Over, Calling for Help, Climbing Out, Jumping off the Side, Free Swimming, Using a Noodle, Hand Eye Coordination, and Upper & Lower Body Strengthening.

Preschool Classes

  • 3 to 4 year olds

  • SwimAmerica Preschool Curriculum

  • If not potty trained, swim diapers are required. No food or drink 30 minutes prior to lesson

  • Lessons can become very skill oriented at this age.  Preschool age children can learn to propel themselves independently in the water, can learn safety skills for themselves, learn to call for help for others and they can learn basic stroke skills in freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly.  They can learn to sustain themselves independently in the water for extended periods of time.

  • When time to move to School Age program they will be evaluated to determine School Age SwimAmerica Station

Special Needs

  • 1 on 1 Instruction

  • Teaching kids with special needs to swim is not only a good idea, it’s essential.  Swimming lessons help kids with special needs in a number of key areas, including greater muscle strength and physical endurance, increased flexibility, more self-control, and, in many instances, improved behavioral outcomes.

  • Special Private Lessons for Special People. This one-on-one 30 minute aquatic program, taught by our SwimAmerica Coaches is ideal for special needs children and or adults

  • Our aquatics program provides a wide range of classes designed to work with children of all abilities.

  • Lessons are adapted to each child or adult’s specific needs and limitations.

Adult

  • 14 years of age or older

  • Private Lessons ONLY

  • Breath Control and Buoyancy then 10 SwimAmerica Stations

  • We teach our adult students how to breathe and get air first so that they are more self-sufficient in the water. Water adjustment, breath control, buoyancy, coordination and relaxation are the key areas of instruction.  Once we have taught breath control and buoyancy then we proceed to the same Ten Stations of the School-Age progression.  We teach the same sequence of skills.  We teach stroke improvement and endurance improvements in a group.
