CLASS TYPES

Private Instruction

One-on-one lessons designed for any participant ages 3 or older. Private Instructions for anyone under the age of 3 is not recommended but can be scheduled upon request. Instructors will gear the lesson to the individual’s needs. Our instructors can give instruction to novice all the way to experienced swimmers.

All PRIVATE INSTRUCTION classes can be converted into a semi-private class if a sibling or friend would like to join. To convert a private instruction into a semi-private, enroll one participant, then give the Aquatics office a call to add an additional participant at a pro-rated fee.

Semi-Private Instruction

Two-on-one lessons designed for any participant of all ages. It is recommended that both swimmers are similar in swim ability.

PLEASE NOTE: A third participant can be enrolled into a semi-private instruction class; however, all three participants will be charged the Semi-Private instruction rate.

Group Instruction

Instruction with 4 or more participants for a more cost-effective way to learn how to swim.

Therapeutic Instruction (Inclusion Services)

Participants requiring special accommodations are encouraged to join all Aquatic programs. Our Aquatics unit prides itself on inclusive programming. Our instructors do not go through special training; however, we do have instructors on staff that have experience with participants who are on the spectrum or have physical disabilities.

PLEASE NOTE: It is recommended that any participant with specific accommodations select the “Special Accommodation” box when registering. A member from our Therapeutic Recreation Department will contact you for information that may be useful to our instructors.

CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

Parent/Child

This level introduces participants and their parents to the aquatic environment. Introducing skills that can help parents practice with their child through songs, toys, and games. Introduces movements on front and back, changing positions, and submerging in an up-and-down pattern.

PLEASE NOTE: This class is not designed to teach your child how to swim; parents learn skills to help guide their child to the next level of swim lessons.

Parent/Child - Level 2

Level 2 builds on the introduction of the Parent and Child class. Continuing skills that help parents practice with their child through songs, toys, and games. Builds on previously taught movements on front and back, changing positions, and submerging in an up-and-down pattern.

PLEASE NOTE: This class is not designed to teach your infant how to survival swim if they fall into a body of water. This course is merely a water acclimation class.

Tiny Tot Seals

Recommend participation in at least one session of Parent/Child, but not required. Introduction to water without parent. Work on movement along the wall, blowing bubbles, breath-holding, kicking, floating, arm strokes, and under water exploration.
