Swim Lessons

Aquta Tots: We use fun songs and games to acclimate little ones to the aquatic world, using repetition to encourage mastery of the basic skills needed to progress. We’ll focus on blowing bubbles, kicking, floating, pouring water over the head, submersion and overall water independence. Adults are required to be in the water with children, and children who are not toilet trained must wear tight-fitting swim pants.

Tiny Tots: Children learn to float, submerge their heads and begin learning basic swimming techniques. Games and fun activities are utilized to keep participants interested and excited to learn to swim!

Youth Individual Lessons: Jump into private, one-on-one swim lessons with an experienced instructor! All levels of swimming skills are welcome.

SYO Lessons: Schedule your own five 45-minute lessons at the pool location of your choice! All levels are welcome, classes are one-on-one with an experienced instructor. You will be contacted by our coordinator to schedule your day and time one week before lessons begin.

SPD Swim School: Our updated curriculum includes daily lesson plans and diversified activities that hold the interest of our students while following a logical progression from beginning swimming skills to advanced techniques. The program has six progressive levels and each student’s abilities will be tested on the first day of class for placement in the appropriate level.
