Classes

All classes at The Swim Gym are designed to build strength, confidence, and community through our efficient progression, caring teachers, and small class size.  Children, and adults, learn best when they are having fun.  Our classes are structured to allow teachers to adapt and customize skills to the student’s specific needs. 

*All classes are 30 minutes and meet once a week.  Tuition is billed at the beginning of each month. 

Parent-Child

Ages 6 months - 3 years

Ratio 3:1

Our parent-child program is structured to enhance the bond between and parent and students while teaching water acclimation and water safety skills.  Skills are guided by songs and a lot of positive reinforcement.

Small Fry

Preschool ages 3-4

Ratio 3:1

This class is designed for the new swimmer.  Students are lead through a series of water acclimation skills which are designed to ease them into the swim lesson environment.  Skills covered in this level are: discovering their own buoyancy, introduction to submerging, back floating, and general pool safety skills.

Seal Pups

Ages 4-6

Ratio 3:1

The Seal Pups level is designed for the beginner swimmer, who are either new to swimming or have had some lessons, but aren’t quite comfortable on their own.  Students are eased into skills such as submerging, floating unassisted, back floating, and safely sliding into the pool. 

Seals

Ages 4-8

Ratio 3:1

The Seal level is designed for those students who can swim unassisted for up to 15 feet from the wall.  Students will be introduced to turning onto their backs and floating unassisted.  Jumping in and swimming back to the wall are also introduced at this level.  Seal is a major step in confidence and strength building.  Just like seals in the wild, students are testing their limits before they venture out to deeper water. 

Stingrays

Ratio 3:1

Students are able to swim unassisted up to 20 feet.  They are also comfortable turning and floating on their backs.  At this level, we introduce the first competitive stroke, backstroke.  Endurance and control are the focus of this level.  Treading water is practiced at the end of each class.
