A series of progressive classes designed so children can learn to swim while having fun. The Learn to Swim Program is designed to allow students to progress at their own rate. We encourage parents and students to look at the amount of progress that was made during a set of lessons, not whether they moved onto the next level. Swimming is a skill that requires time and practice; it is not a skill that can be taught in a certain amount of time. Our program does not refer to "pass" or "fail" and we ask for parents support in our efforts to make swimming lesson a fun activity void of testing!
The program contains 10 progressive levels designed to teach the 4 basic swimming strokes. These levels are: white, purple, red, green, aqua, blue, bronze, silver, gold and platinum. the students must fully master each progression before moving onto the next level.

Swimming Lesson Ratios
Group
Group Lessons are our regular swimming lessons. The student to instructor ratio is 1:5 for beginners or 1:6 for higher levels. These classes are 40 minutes long and designed to allow children to progress at their own rate.
Low Ratio Lessons
Designed for those who require more attention then our regular group lessons. These 40 minute classes have an instructor to student ratio of 1:3 and we require a minimum registration of 2 students before the class can commence. Register early as space is limited.
Private
One on one instruction, friendly instructors and personal attention. The 30 minute class of private instruction is ideal for beginners who want to brush up on their swimming skills or those having difficulty with a particular stroke or technique.
Family Private
Two family members or friends and one instructor. A 30 minute class of private instruction is ideal for beginners who want to brush up on their swimming skills or those having difficulty with a particular stroke or technique.
