The Learn to Swim
Program starts at age 3 and can progress through adulthood.
As I’m sure most parents are aware, teaching children to swim
is a must for the
North Florida
area. Children certainly
benefit from the enjoyment and exercise of swimming but more
importantly we have to consider their safety.
Children are screened the first day of class and put into a
group based on ability. Classes
generally have a 6 student to 1 teacher ratio and last 40 minutes.
Classes generally run Monday through Thursday for 2 weeks with
Friday as the rainy day make-up. Parents
are encouraged to sit on the deck and to talk to the instructors
before and after lessons. The
following is a list of some of the skills that will be covered in the
