The School of Swimming offers swimming instruction to students from three and a half years old to adults.
Learning to swim should be a part of
every child's education.......
We are confronted with the water every
day; in backyard pools, lakes, rivers, at the beach, off the boat.
Water is all around us. Being able to swim allows us to take
part in the fun safely. The swimming skills your
children acquire today, will give them the ability and
confidence to enjoy the water for a life time.
Each child has individual
needs.......
The skills taught in each level of
progression are carefully standardized. The needs of each
child, however, are very (non-standard). Consequently, we
design our classes to help the individual. A maximum of six
students per class permits the personal attention that is needed,
while providing the fun and encouragement of being with others.
Learning should be approached
simply.......
We feel that swimming strokes are
most easily learned when broken down into smaller parts.
Careful attention is given along the way, so that problems may be
detected and corrected before they become habit. As your
child builds skill upon skill, a competent swimmer emerges.
Intensive practice is
important.......
What seems difficult the first time, may
be done with ease the 31st time. Practice is very important,
especially when combined with feedback and encouragement.
Our standard program is scheduled to promote continuous progress.
Ten, one hour classes are held Monday thru Friday over a two
week period.
This May marks the beginning of our
thirty-seventh season.......
Over the past thirty seven years, The School
of Swimming has had the privilege of teaching well over 70,000
young people how to swim. It is our hope that each of our
students learns how to swim with competence and confidence.
We want children to own both a love and respect for the water.
To accomplish this end, our instructors work at bringing the best
effort out of each of their students using enthusiasm, patience
and encouragement.
