Learn to Swim
Ages 2+
Our unique learn-to-swim program includes three levels for all ages. Beginners are new to swimming and need basic, life-saving skills. Intermediates are water-safe, need minimal supervision, and are ready to begin stroke work starting with freestyle and backstroke to make them good swimmers. Advanced are interested in taking the next step towards joining a swim team by learning breaststroke, butterfly, turns, and dives.
Pre-Competitive
Ages 6+
Swimmers in this group are familiar with all four strokes to varying degrees but need refinement to improve efficiency, power, and speed.
Competitive
Ages 10+
Swimmers in this group are proficient in all four strokes but need tweaks in their technique, starts, and turns to gain a competitive edge.
Swim Team
Ages 6-18
Our swim team builds conditioning and technical proficiency in a fun environment that prepares kids for all levels of swimming, or just a healthy lifestyle.
