PROGRAMS
PHILOSOPHY: Our program is based on two important
concepts: We teach water safety and strive to
help the student become more proficient in their
swimming skills. Class size and student/instructor
ratio are closely supervised in order to give
the optimum advantage possible for each student
to enhance learning and retention skills for
swimming and water safety. Our classes are instructed
by experienced Water Safety Instructors; trained
and certified by The American Red Cross. We
are proud of our program and hope you will be
satisfied that it is the best program in the
area.

Specialty Classes
Boy Scout Merit Badge Courses:
We offer classes for the Swimming Merit Badge
and the Lifesaving Merit Badge. The merit badges
require advanced skills, we require all
participants to be Level #4 swimmer or above.
Adult Beginning Swimming: This
class is designed for the beginner with no experience
or those wishing to improve their basic swimming
skills. We begin by becoming adjusted to
the water and submersion. Breath control skills
are introduced prior to any buoyancy skills. After
both breath control and buoyancy are mastered, we
move to skills that begin propulsion. We
strive to become capable in the deep water and have
several drown proofing skills mastered.
Anyone over the age of 13 may register for this
class.
Adult Advanced Swimming: This class
is for the swimmer who is proficient in the deep
end but wishes to learn additional strokes as well
as perfect the strokes they already have.
Anyone over the age of 13 may register for this
class.
Professional Lifeguard Training:
Lifeguard Training, as taught by the American Red-
Cross, if for those who are at least 15 years or
older, have completed level #5 in swimming and
are interested in becoming certified. Classes are
taught between January and May every year.

Water Safety Instructor: Water
Safety Instructor (swimming instructor) is a course
that
is taken by those wishing to instruct swimming.
The student must be 16 years of age, having
taking and passed level #5 swimming and be interest
in becoming certified. This course is taught

Private Swimming Instruction: Generally,
most children as well as adults experience
more success in public instruction that private.
It is our philosophy to instruct privately only
when a student has special needs such as a disability
that cannot be dealt with in public classes
or needs a certain skill that repeatedly has kept
that student from passing a level.
