Our Values

Safety: Our top priority is safety! This program is designed to teach children swimming skills and safety in the water.

Competition: While teaching safety skills, we will also have a competitive track. This is where we work with the swimmers in the high levels to help us compete on our swim team, The Elk Grove Stingrays!

OUR PHILOSOPHY

• A relationship exists between instructor behaviors and student performance.

• Students learn in different ways and have different readiness levels.

• The focus should be on ability, not disability, achievement, not errors.

• Multiple methods of instruction, including “learn by doing” results in higher levels of student performance.

• Effective instructional methods can be learned and developed.

OUR cLASSES

• Register your child for the program that corresponds with their age. On the first day of class, staff will test new participants to place them in the correct level.

• No Make-Ups for missed group lessons.

Dipper’s Youth Lessons

Level 1

Swimmers will begin to learn flutter kicks on their front and back with the correct body position, review the back and front float with some assistance, and submerge their heads to grab objects under water. We will also introduce arm motions for freestyle and streamlining with assistance.

Level 2

Swimmers at this level are very comfortable in the water. This class is skill development for beginners. Swimmers will learn how to float on their front and back unassisted, glide, kick, jump off, and return to the wall. Participants will begin to add flutter kick to their freestyle and backstroke arm motions. Students will also be able to streamline unassisted.
