NCSS is NCSA’s learn to swim development program.
We swim twice a week for 30 or 45 minutes each session depending on the age and skill of your swimmer.
How we are different: we do not pass or fail, we teach as a group, all of our coaches are former competitive swimmers with professional mentor swim coaches on deck. We focus on technique, teach the four competitive strokes, dives, and turns while instilling confidence.
Who we are for: beginning swimmers 5 years to 12 years old. Swimmers 8 years and older with the proper skills start in our competitive program.
We strive for excellence while promoting sportsmanship and team pride in a positive atmosphere.
