Learn to Swim Program

A series of progressive classes designed so individuals 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 students to look at the amount of progress that was made during a set of lessons, and 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 lessons a fun activity void of testing!

The program contains 10 levels designed to teach the 4 basic swimming strokes. The student must fully master each progression before moving onto the next level.
