Classes

All classes at The Swim Gym are built to develop strength, confidence, and community through structured progression, small class sizes, and purposeful teaching. Students learn best when they’re engaged, and our classes are designed to keep them focused while still enjoying the process. Every lesson is intentional, with teachers adapting in real time to each student’s needs. 

Parent-Child

Ages 6 months - 3 years

Ratio 3:1

Our parent-child program is designed to build trust, comfort, and connection in the water while introducing early water safety and acclimation skills. Using songs and positive reinforcement, we create a structured environment where both parent and child can learn together.

Small Fry

Preschool ages 3-4

Ratio 3:1

This class is designed for new swimmers and focuses on building comfort, confidence, and control in the water. Students are guided through foundational water acclimation skills to help them transition smoothly into the lesson environment. Skills include discovering buoyancy, learning to submerge, back floating, and essential water safety.

Seal Pups

Ages 3.5-5

Ratio 3:1

The Seal Pups level is built for beginner swimmers who are not yet comfortable on their own in the water. Students are guided through foundational skills such as submerging, floating independently, back floating, and safe pool entry. The focus is on building real comfort and confidence through consistent, structured practice.

Seals

Ages 4-8

Ratio 3:1

The Seal level is designed for swimmers who are working on swimming unassisted with repeated, controlled breathing. Students begin learning to transition onto their backs and float independently, while also practicing jumping in and swimming safely back to the wall.

This level marks a significant step in both confidence and strength. Like seals in the wild, students begin testing their abilities as they prepare for more independence in the water.

This level is built for swimmers who can swim unassisted up to 30 feet and are comfortable turning onto their backs and floating independently. At this stage, students are introduced to their first competitive stroke, backstroke. The focus is on developing endurance and control, with treading water practiced consistently at the end of each class.
