ALL PROGRAMS ARE FOR ADULTS AND YOUTH

Class Descriptions

New students are assessed on the first day of class to ensure they are placed in a class that corresponds to their swimming skills and needs.

Our pools are generally 4 feet deep in the shallow end.  Students who are not able to demonstrate competent independent movement and balance in that depth of water, must be accompanied by an adult family member in the water with them.

Get Ready Get Wet: Build comfort and confidence in preparation for actual swim instruction. (30 Minutes) The class introduces new swimmers to the water. Children as young as 6 years old can participate if an adult family member  joins them in the water.

Learn to Swim: Learn proper breathing and streamlining techniques, freestyle and backstroke. (1 Hour) Learn to swim advanced class teaches freestyle and backstroke.

Competitive Program: Improve speed and stamina across all events. (1.5-2 Hours) For swimmers who are already on a swim team but need to refine their technique. The class is appropriate for triathletes,  competitive swimmers, and water sport clinic participants.

Stroke Enhancement Program: Learn skills in preparation for joining a competitive team. (1-1.5 Hours) For swimmers who have good freestyle and backstroke but want to learn breaststroke, butterfly, starts and turns.

Adaptive Program: Drowning is the leading cause of death for children with autism. But it doesn’t have to be. Swim Strong  provides water safety education and teaches the swimming skills that will help your child be safe, effective and confident in  the water. Reach out through the contact us tab to discuss your child’s specific need.

Veteran Program: Swim Strong Foundation offers free swimming classes to Veterans. Proof of military ID is required. For more information, contact us.

Refund Policy:  Refunds are seldom issued. Swim Strong Foundation will decide on a case-by-case basis if a refund should be granted due to exceptional circumstances.
Missed Class Policy: Due to the personalized nature of our Get Ready/Get Wet, Adaptive, and Learn to Swim remove(Level 1) classes, make up classes are not available.  Swimmers in our more advanced classes may make up a missed class only after agreement with the head coach. If permission is given, the class must be taken within the same session at another pool that can accommodate the additional student.
