Most classes will have less. Refunds will not be given after registration.  If we miss multiple days due to pool closure a credit will be issued to your account.

Private Lessons: Experienced instructors will alter the class to fit the swimmers needs. Lessons are per session and sign up is first come first serve. You may contact Stephanie Neal at [email protected] to see if additional lessons can be added.  

New to the Pool: New to the Pool is for children ages 3 to 12 years to become comfortable in the water. The goal of New to the Pool is to have the kids be comfortable in the water (put face in water, blow bubbles, learn to float, climb out of the pool, etc.).  This class will prepare them for the next levels of swim lessons. 

 
Mini-Marlins 1:  In this group, swimmers will learn to float on their stomach and back, flutter kick properly with a kickboard and begin learning proper freestyle technique. 
Requirements: Swimmers must be comfortable stepping feet first into water over their head and propelling themselves forward unassisted. Swimmers should also be able to push off the side of the pool and glide face down, then recover to standing.

Mini-Marlins 2:  In this group, swimmers will continue to learn proper freestyle technique and begin learning the basics of proper backstroke technique. 
Requirements: Swimmers must be able to swim a full length, 25 meters freestyle without stopping while trying to breathe by turing head to side.  Must be comfortable floating on their back.

Mini Marlins 3:  In this group, swimmers will perfect freestyle and backstroke, begin to build endurance and begin learning the basics of butterfly and breaststroke. This group prepares swimmers to enter our competitive swim team in the red or blue group.  
Requirements: Swimmers must easily enter water and comfortably swim a 25 meter backstroke and freestyle with proper side breathing and without stopping.
