Adult & Teen Swim Lessons

Beginner to Advanced specialized to the student. Participants will share their goals for their first lesson as their instructor assesses their current swim ability. The individual focus will be dependent on the participant's swim ability.

Adult & Teen Swim Lessons take the student through the six stages of learning:

1. Increases comfort with underwater exploration and introduces basic self-rescue skills performed with assistance. Students learn personal water safety and achieve basic swimming competencies.
2. Encourages forward movement in the water and basic self-rescue skills performed independently.
3. Develops intermediate self-rescue skills performed at longer distances than in previous stages.
4. Introduces basic stroke technique in front crawl and back crawl and reinforces water safety through treading water and elementary backstroke.
5. Introduces breaststroke and butterfly and reinforces water safety through treading water and sidestroke.
6. Refines stroke technique on all major competitive strokes and encourages swimming as part of a healthy lifestyle.
