Swim Lessons

Basic Training

Children Age 6 Months & Up.
Ideally swimmers are crawling or walking prior to beginning lessons. Instructor approval required to begin lessons earlier. ​

The goal for swimmers is the ability to problem solve in the water no matter what the situation. 


Swimmers learn age appropriate swimming postures to allow them to swim facedown in the water, rotate onto their back to a floating position that enables them to rest and breathe, then return to a facedown swimming posture.​

​

Swimmers complete their basic skills swimming once they are able to demonstrate a clothes checkout and the ability to find the surface of the water and float comfortably on their back. 

​

Average basic skills training is 20-30 consecutive lessons. (4-6 weeks, Monday through Friday)

​

All lessons are 1:1, lessons are 10-15 minutes in length.

Maintenance

Available to all students who have completed a Basics Skills Course through ANY Survival Swim Program.

​For optimal skill retention, children should continue lessons once or twice a week in a Maintenance Program.

 

Maintenance lessons focus on continuing to build a swimmers swim-float-swim skills.

​

Maintenance lessons are offered periodically.

​

If a swimmer has not had lessons in an extended period of time we do require registering for a refresher course of lessons prior to enrolling in maintenance lessons.​

(4-5 consistent lessons within a weeks schedule)

Refresher

Available to all students who have completed a Basics Skills Course through ANY Survival Swim Program.

Refresher lessons are an important part of a young swimmers skills development. As children continue to grow and develop so does coordination and cognitive abilities.

 

Refresher lessons allow us to help fine tune your childs skills and keep their survival swim skills sharp. Refresher lessons are offered periodically and are a two week course. 

​

A refresher course will ensure your swimmer is the independent, confident skill based swimmer that they were during their basic skills training lessons.
