My primary goal is to teach kids to be safe in the water. On the first day, all students will be expected to put their heads and faces in the water. This step is essential because it is impossible to teach safety without it. No goggles are allowed during lessons for safety reasons. Each student must be able to open their eyes and determine which way is up.

Each lesson consists of 25 minutes of instruction and five minutes of “free time.” If a student is having a difficult day, they may complete the full 30 minutes. Much of what we teach may be new to your child. Some kids struggle with one or more safety elements. However, practicing each skill daily helps them overcome fear and stay safe.

Your child may feel uncomfortable putting their face in the water. It is our job to help them overcome these fears. Watching a scared child can be difficult for parents. However, please remember we are here to help your child become safe and have fun! Swimming is a great activity for all kids, and we want every student to enjoy it safely. All teachers are CPR trained.
