Summer Swim Lessons
--Sign ups are usually available around mid-May--
In addition to our summer swim team, we will be offering swim lessons (similar to our Learn to Swim Clinic in April). If your swimmer has participated in our April Swim Clinic or if you would just like to further improve your child’s swim skills, this would be a good opportunity.
Who can participate?
Anyone who would like to improve their swimming skills will benefit from these lessons. We strive to simply improve a swimmer from their current skills to the next level of skills. We have found over the years that age 5 is a good starting age, but some 4-year-olds are ready as well. If you have an older child (such as age 11 and up) that feels they are too old for swim lessons, please contact us about options.
What options are available? (These are tentative days and times.)
--ALL sessions will be held starting in June (specific dates will be posted when sign ups are available)—
The following are the tentative days and times (subject to change based on the available instructors).
12 sessions on Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 9:30-10:00 am for $120 per child
12 sessions on Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 10:00-10:30 am for $120 per child

8 sessions on Tuesday, Thursday at 10:00-10:30 am for $80 per child
What can I expect when participating?
In a group lesson, there will be 3-5 swimmers per instructor. They will be grouped as closely in skill level as possible. The instructor will be in the water with the swimmers (level 1 and level 2) or on deck (level 3…also in the water as needed). Each session will be 30 minutes and will be spent reviewing previous skills while introducing new skills.
If in a private lesson, the instructor will be in the water with a beginner swimmer for a 30 minute session. For a more advanced swimmer, the instructor will be on the deck instructing and videotaping as needed for advanced instruction. (Contact Coach Josh for pricing.)
If you have any questions, please contact Coach Josh Hawkins (865) 712-3764.
