Our Swim Programs
Learn-to-Swim Program
Our engaging swimming lessons cater to children of all skill levels, ensuring they develop water confidence and essential swimming techniques in a fun and safe environment on a trimester schedule.
Summer Swimtensive
One-week sessions include daily 60-minute classes for new swimmers to increase water comfort and build towards independent swimming. Our experienced instructors focus on fostering independence in the water, teaching children to submerge, float, roll from their stomachs to their backs, and swim safely over short distances. For more advanced swimmers, we focus on skills such as independently entering the water and swimming across the pool without assistance. With a maximum instructor-to-child ratio of 4:1, each session balances structured instruction with engaging water play. Children are assessed and placed into ability-based groups on Mondays, maintaining those groups throughout the week.
Summer Camp Additional Swim Lesson
Add a daily 30-minute swim lesson to your Junior or Full Day camper’s day and take their swimming to the next level. Low student-to-teacher ratios ensure personalized instruction from our professional coaches for swimmers both new to the water and those who can already swim.
Frequently Asked Questions
Our Summer Swimtensive program is designed for swimmers of all abilities. Keep in mind that this is a separation class without parent or caregiver participation. Some 2.5-year-olds are ready to be in the water in a group lesson, while others feel more comfortable with a parent or caregiver. If your child would feel more comfortable in a parent/caregiver environment, we suggest signing up for one of our Starfish swim classes.
