Class Descriptions:
Adult Water Skills
This class is designed for adult swimmers with little to no experience in the water. We
will work to help adults conquer their fear of swimming and introduce basic concepts of
stroke technique and water safety. These classes are 40 minutes.
Beginning Water Skills
Geared for the beginner, the objective of this class is to promote the developmentally appropriate learning of fundamental water safety and aquatic skills of children. Our focus is fun, comfort in the water and introduction to basic skills. All classes are 40 minutes.
Intermediate Water Skills
Swimmers learn basic mechanics of swimming with support in the shallow end. Safety rules and introductory lifesaving techniques are also taught at this level. Our focus is fun, comfort in the water and development of basic skills. This class is 40 minutes. Basics include:
• entering and exiting pool
• floating front and back
• coordinating arm and leg movement
• proper breathing technique
Parent-Child Water Acclimation
Family members introduce children 3 years old and younger to the joy of swimming. Infants & toddlers
will be encouraged to blow bubbles, play with water toys, and experience the reaching and kicking that
will later lead to proper stroke development. Toddlers will also be encouraged to float on front & back.
Our focus is fun and comfort in the water. This class is 15 minutes. Children must wear a non-disposable
swim diaper (if applicable).
Personalized Water Skills
Personalized swim lessons are a great option for swimmers looking to catch up or get ahead. These lessons offer individualized, one-on-one attention to help improve or master swimming skills. By working with the instructor to determine personal goals, lesson plans are customized to meet these goals. These lessons are 30 minutes.
