What is SwimAmerica?

SwimAmerica Swim Lesson Preschool Program is a 10-station lesson program designed for the specific needs of our younger swimmers. Pre-school children need the swim school to learn safety skills. The most important skill that your child will learn is to float on his/her back and get air. Other skills, such as swimming to the wall in case they accidentally fall into the water, need to be learned as well. Instructors, and not the parents, are in the water with the students at all times and class size is no more than four children per instructor.

SwimAmerica Swim Lesson Children Program is a station-by-station (10 stations) lesson program where the participants proceed through each station at their own rate in a goal-driven and technique-oriented structure with immediate rewards for successful completion of set goals. School age children need the swim school to learn to swim on top of the water. Underwater swimming will not save your life!! Learning a good freestyle stroke with proper air exchange will help the participant build confidence in the water and may even save their life. This skill along with the proper development of all four competitive strokes are the mainstay of the SwimAmerica Swim School. The coach to swimmer ration is no more than 1:6.
