Parent & Tot Water Familiarization (Ages 6 – 36 months)
Class Size = 3 Toddlers and 3 Parents

This class is one 45 minute session.

This class is designed for a parent/caregiver and child to be in the water together for familiarization with the pool and its surroundings, working with an instructor, and gaining comfort in the water. You will be shown age-appropriate steps to help you teach your child breath control and how to be comfortable with submersion. In a safe environment, you will have the opportunity to implement and practice these progressions. This is a great time to ask questions and discuss techniques to develop your child’s independence in the water. We encourage 2 to 3 sessions over the summer to reinforce the teaching progressions.

Group Class (Ages 3 to 15)
Class Size is limited to 4 students.

This class is a one-week (4 or 5 day as noted in the schedule), 45 minute session.

In this class we use age-appropriate techniques to successfully introduce your child to pool safety and to help your child learn and progress in basic swimming skills. 

For beginners or less experienced swimmers, Coach Sally teaches techniques such as front and back float, coordinated leg kicks, breath control, and submersion games, including firemen’s pole and pool-bottom push-offs or bobs. As skills progress, your child will perform independent floats, swimming on top of the water, and assisted jumps into deep water.

As they progress into an intermediate level, swimmers will learn basic arm strokes, coordinated leg kicks, front and back floating with roll-overs, breath control, and skills to promote comfort with independent deep water submersion. Children in this group will be taught to swim on top of the water for progressing distances.

More advanced swimmers will be taught more effective breathing and kicking techniques. We will also focus on stroke development including rhythmic breathing, freestyle stroke, and back stroke. In addition they will be instructed on the basics of treading water and introduction to diving.

Private for Child or Adult

Requests for private  lessons are accepted as we can accommodate them. 

These lessons will be scheduled around the group class calendar and are typically not scheduled during peak class times (i.e. June).   We will not attempt to schedule private lessons unless a registration form has been submitted. Coach Sally will contact you directly after you submit your registration to schedule the session.

Private classes are one 30-minute session. See the Fees & Payment tab.

Evaluation Sessions

While we feel that group classes provide the learner with a higher level of support, enjoyment, and feedback beyond the lessons being taught, we appreciate that there are situations where a group setting isn’t ideal. When that is the case, we recommend an evaluation session with Coach Sally to determine the best approach for lessons.

After a brief assessment of your skill level, goals, and any limitations (time, skills, fears, handicaps), Coach Sally will teach swim techniques and water safety to enhance the student’s skills and comfort in the water.  At the conclusion of this lesson, she will discuss with you a plan for any future lessons based on your needs and goals.
