Swim America offers infant through adult lessons. We teach with the most effective method known, using progression developed by United States swim coaches. Our goal is to teach your child to swim quickly. All coaches are certified by Swim America, a national program of the American Swimming Coaches Association.

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.

The length of time that it will take to learn to swim depends on your child's age and level of fitness. It may take 20 or more lessons for preschoolers to learn the basic skills of floating, returning to the wall and rolling over on their back to breathe, float and rest. Older children learn more quickly and most can learn to swim 2 or more strokes in 20 or so lessons.


The lessons that your child needs most are the Swim America swim lessons!
