PRIVATE SWIMMING LESSONS
Infant/Toddler (12 months - 36 months), Preschoolers (3-5), School Age (6 and up), Adults
Infant/Toddler (12 months - 36 months)
Lessons will encourage new abilities in the areas of motor development, language, emotional and social skills. Because the parent is in the water by the end of the lesson, there will be an enrichment of the parent-child relationship. Lessons will help develop confidence in the child’s ability to learn and enhance self-image in the upper part of the age span (closer to two years). They will also become acclimated to the water and learn to enjoy the sensations associated with movement in the water. In addition, infants/toddlers will learn to propel themselves to the wall/steps independently should they fall accidentally into the water.
*There is no such thing as drown-proofing your child. There is always a risk when children are playing near or in pool. Please make it a point to never let your child play alone or out of your reach.
Preschoolers (3 - 5 years)
Lessons can become very skill oriented at this age. Preschool age children can learn to propel themselves independently in the water, can learn safety skills for themselves, learn to call for help for others and they can learn basic stroke skills in freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly. They can learn to sustain themselves independently in the water for extended periods of time.
School Age (6 and up)
Beginners will learn water safety skills, floating on front and back, and the ability to swim to the side or stairs safely.
Advanced children will learn the 4 competitive strokes (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly). When they pass station 8, they are ready for the swim team. [Lakeland Area Swimming]
The swimmers are able to swim all four competitive strokes for a short distance. They will work on endurance and begin lap swimming. They will also continuously improve their strokes.
Adult swimming lessons are available!!
What's next?
Parent Recommendations: Please make it a goal to take the information you learn in the 5th session and practice 1-2 times a week for the next 4-6 weeks. At this point, your child will be ready to learn a new set of skills and advance through the SwimAmerica stations.
Aqua Tots Swim School is designed with the goal of saving you money and time. The 5, 30-minute lessons are intense and goal-driven. During the 5th lesson, the parent is included so he/she can take these teaching techniques with them and reinforce the skills with the child in their own time. Instead of taking back-to-back weeks of lessons, which get's expensive, you use the next 4-6 weeks to 'lock in' the skills learned. At this time (4-6 weeks later), your child will be ready to learn a new set of skills and advance through the SwimAmerica stations.
