Learning Structure:
The Swim School is mostly divided by skill under the following five (5) main schools and five (5) levels of progress within each:
STARBABIES SCHOOL – Introductory level where students adapt and acquire initial aquatic skills for self-reliance, safety, and survival. This level is also known as “Parent & Child”, as it always requires the presence of an adult in the water (unless conducting Private Lessons, see below). The minimum age is 6 months up to 2 years.
STARFISH SCHOOL – Introductory level identical to the “Starbabies School” mentioned above, but including participants up to 5 years to prepare them for the next level.
SWIM SCHOOL – Beginner level where the student can be independent in the water learning to master the basics of swimming, diving, and water safety. The average age is between 5 to 9 years old.
STROKE SCHOOL – Competitive level where students develop the best techniques, toning, speed, strength, alternate swim strokes, diving, and water safety skills. The average age is between 10 to 14 years old, but we also include adults of all ages and levels to learn the swim and water safety skills.
