Learn to Swim
Choosing a class for your swimmer is based on many factors including age, ability, temperament, group dynamics, and teacher/class availability. Children develop different cognitive and motor skills at different times. Some children are fast learners and some require more practice. Our goal is to match swimmers of similar ages and similar abilities so that no child feels they are the “slow” person in the class. Choosing the right class is a team effort that includes input from parents, children, our Teachers, and our experienced office team.
AQUATIKES I – 3 year olds
A program designed specifically for three year olds with little or no water experience. Themes and games enhance the learning to swim experience. The goal of this class is to swim seven feet with Reach and Pull and gain comfort in the water.
AQUATIKES II & III – 3 year olds
This class is for three year olds who already swim seven feet on top of the water. Again, themes and games entertain these children while they learn to swim the width of the pool (25 feet) and get an independent breath.
PRESCHOOL BEGINNERS -Ages 4-5
This class is for preschoolers who cannot swim. Themes and games create fun-filled lessons for learning how to swim ten feet.
ADVANCED PRESCHOOL – Ages 4-5
This class is for 4 and 5 year olds who already swim ten feet on top of the water. The goal of this class is to swim 20ft, getting a breath, then swim to the destination.
BEGINNERS I – Ages 6+
A class for six year olds and up who do not swim. Swimmers learn a relaxed, effective stroke for swimming the width of the pool (25 feet) at their natural buoyancy level.
BEGINNERS II – Ages 3+
A class for children who already swim 25 feet on top of the water. The goal of this class is to teach the student to swim about 50 feet (the length of our pool) getting independent breaths.
BEGINNERS III -Ages 4+
A class for children who already swim the length of the pool. The goal of this class is to teach the swimmer to perform rollover breathing while swimming the length of our pool. Standing dives are an added skill.
“Thank you to Ms Taylor and The Swim School for your fantastic customer service. You truly made not only my daughter’s experience in the water an enjoyable one, but also provided a very safe environment for learning. We will absolutely be repeat customers!”

“We’ve been coming since our daughter was one year old, she’s now four. She has gone from not wanting to put her face in the water to now not wanting to come up for air. She’s had several teachers as she progressed through the program and every single one has been amazing, no matter how difficult she was finding it. She absolutely loves coming here, thank you all.”
