Youth Swimming Lessons

Classes are offered year round for children age 6 - 14, starting with our Beginner 1 class. We nurture a child's willingness to do each skill and adjust to direction. With each lesson we build on the confidence your child gains. A child may be in a course for several session or just one before they have the skills needed for the next level. From day one your child's safety is our number one concern. With this in mind we welcome parents to observe classes.

Coaches note:

Our program as a whole focuses on safety! Your child’s safety is our number one concern. We base placement of our progressive swim classes upon skill ability, maturity, and capability. It is not based off of age. Individuals may spend up to a year in each level based on their individual progression. Again we are teaching for SAFETY!

Intro to Beginner

(Ages 6-9) This class is a first class for 6-14 year olds who have had no previous swimming lessons or have an apprehension to being in a large pool without floatation. We will go at the child's pace to build their confidence and trust with their instructor. During the course we will transition from activities on the wall, to skills with instructor's hold.
