Our Swim Lesson Philosophy
It is our goal to provide a safe and enjoyable water experience from infants 8 months through children 16 years of age. Our lessons are designed to develop your child in stages from water orientation through pre-competitive swim team. We use creative and innovative drills with equipment designed to build strength and endurance as well as making lessons fun, motivating and productive. The best way for children to become water safe is through an ongoing instructional program. Our program has been developed with a base from the American Red Cross and the National Swim School Association guidelines.
