Our program is designed to teach Survival Skills BEFORE beginning Stroke Development. I will teach them to swim with their face in the water and roll onto their back to float independently. Depending on their age and continued progress, I will then teach them to flip from an independent float to having their face in the water again so that they can propel themselves towards a wall or step to safety. This “swim-float-swim” sequence is the key to helping a child survive when they are in a body of water. I believe survival is the foundation of learning to be a safe & happy swimmer.

No swim method is guaranteed, and every child learns at a different pace based on many factors. However, this method has been tested and shown to be highly effective in helping a child survive. That said, it is extremely important to still follow all drowning prevention measures such as having adult supervision, locking pool gates and outdoor access during non-swim periods, consistently practicing swimming skills with your child.

Each lesson is a one-on-one, private, 20 minutes – 30 minutes depending on age and ability.

The lessons are initially 4 days a week, Monday through Thursday, for 4 weeks. The duration truly depends on the progress your child makes, their age, and prior swim experiences. At the end of 4 weeks, we will reassess how many more lessons are needed.

Once all lessons are complete, I encourage you to continue to bringing your child for maintenance lessons throughout the year. This makes it easier to keep the “swim-float-swim” skills fresh over the colder months and makes for a much faster refresher the following summer. Keep in mind, my swim lesson season runs year-round depending on weather. I do have a heater on my pool that will be used during the cooler months.

I always avoid the parent being in the water unless necessary for the comfort of the child. At the end of the 4 week session, I may have you get in to show you how to practice with your child.

I teach in my heated backyard pool. During the cooler months, the pool temperature is kept at 90 degrees.
