Swim School Swim School Levels Our Family Wellness Swim School takes pride in our exciting water-safe program. Our philosophy is that each child progresses at their own pace. Through positive reinforcement, practice and patience, students learn water-safe swimming skills while having fun. This aquatic facility will run swimming lessons for children starting at the age of 6 months through adulthood. Classes are once a week for 30 minutes in our large pool to encourage year round lessons. Families that want to swim more than once a week are encouraged to do so. Classes are structured by age and ability to accommodate varying skill levels within each age group. Our student to teacher ratios are 4:1 except for our Parent/Baby and Parent/Child classes which are 6:1. Our goal is to teach your child in a fun, safe environment that builds confidence, self-esteem and a feeling of accomplishment.
Parent/Baby
Starfish
Parents learn to properly hold their 6-18 month baby while working on floating, submerging, hand/eye coordination and strength through games and songs.
Encouragement and positive reinforcement help kids become more confident floating on their front and back as well as kicking across the pool on their back independently.
Parent/Child Toddlers ages 19-35 months. Parents learn to work with their child on floating, breath control for submerging, climbing out of the pool on their own, and muscle strengthening.
Guppy Children 3 years old can begin getting comfortable in the water independent of their parents. Through patience and trust, children in this level will overcome their fear and eventually swim independently.
Froggie Participants will build on their independent swimming ability by swimming further distances. Being able to transition from swimming on their front to their back is one of the safety skills stressed.
Turtle Children will build on previous levels by beginning to define swim strokes like elementary backstroke, front crawl, and backstroke.

Swim School Levels Continued Otter Swimmers will build endurance, confidence, and skill on the strokes learned in Turtle. They will also learn dolphin kick and breaststroke.
Seal Children will progress by learning flip turns, butterfly, sidestroke and breaststroke timing. Endurance will be increased even more by working to swim 300 yards continuously.
Shark These experienced swimmers will be able to swim multiple lengths of the pool in each of the competitive strokes: front crawl, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly. Children will also be skilled in elementary backstroke, sidestroke and water safety.
Private Lessons Private lessons are a good option for those who may want or need more one-on-one attention.
