CHILDREN'S LESSONS FAQ

How do I know if my child needs swim lessons
* Preschool children need swim lessons to learn safety skills. The most important skill is the "roll over", a skill where your child will learn to float on his/her back and get air. Other skills like swimming to the wall in case they accidentally fall into the water need to be learned as well.
* School age children need swim lessons to learn to swim on top of the water. Underwater swimming cannot save your life! Children tire quickly underwater, and trying to sustain underwater swimming may even cause drowning! Learning a good freestyle stroke with proper air exchange will help your child build confidence in the water and may save their life.

WORKSHOP FAQ

How long will it take to learn to swim?
This depends on your child's age, comfort in the water, and skill level. It may take 24 or more lessons for preschoolers to learn the basic skills of floating, returning to the wall and rolling over on their backs to breathe, yell for help and float. Older children tend to learn more quickly. Most can become fairly proficient with the freestyle stroke within approximately 24 lessons.

How long do the workshops last?
Oh, about an hour.
