Learning how to swim is the first step to a lifetime enjoyment of  swimming in a pool or ocean. This year Best Aquatic Management  will partner with Jeff Ellis Swimming for our swim lesson program. JES certified swim instructors teach your children the swimming skills that build self-confidence in and out of the water. It is never too late or early to learn to swim!

Water Exploration & Safety
The Introduction!
Ages 6 months - 2 years

This class is an introduction to water safety and basic water skills for both parent and child. It is not a swim lesson and parents should adjust their expectations appropriately. The Water Exploration and Safety class is meant to allow the child to explore the water in a supervised and fun environment with the guidance of the instructor and parent.

Preschool
I'm a Big Kid Now!
Ages 3-5 years

The purpose of this class is to help students feel comfortable in the water without the presence or mom or dad. Students continue to learn elementary water skills and safety tips that will stay with them throughout all swim lesson levels. Sophie the Safety Seal’s WaterSmart Rules are reinforced for increased aquatic safety.

Beginner
Stroke Readiness
Ages 5-11

The Beginner class builds on elementary water skills previously learned and teaches students the skills needed to complete a 25-yard swim for each of the following: Elementary Backstroke, Front Crawl, and Backstroke. All elementary water skills are reinforced so that they become second nature to the students. All water safety rules are discussed as well.

Advanced Beginner
Stroke Development
Ages 6-12

The Advanced Beginner class teaches students how to master stroke development and requires them to complete 50-yard swims of Elementary Backstroke and basic Backstroke. Students are also asked to complete 25-yard swims of the Breaststroke and Front Crawl with rhythmical breathing. We introduce Scissor Kick and Sidestroke at this swim level too.

Intermediate
Stroke Refinement
Ages 6-13

The Intermediate class strengthens students' coordination of key strokes. They are asked to complete 50 yards of Front Crawl with rhythmically breathing, 75 yards of Backstroke, 50 yards of Breaststroke, 50 yards of Sidestroke, 75 yards of Elementary Backstroke, and 25 yards of Butterfly. We introduce the Sidestroke, Butterfly and the act of treading water at this level.

Advanced
Skill Proficiency
Ages 6-14

The Advanced class polishes strokes so students swim with more ease, power and smoothness over greater distances. At this level, swimmers should be able to complete 100 yards of Front Crawl with Rhythmical Breathing, 100 yards of Backstroke, 100 yards of Breaststroke, 100 yards of Sidestroke, 100 yards of Elementary Backstroke, 50 yards of Butterfly, and three minutes of treading water.

Adult
Learn to Swim. It's never too late!

Basic swimming and self rescue skills are taught in an environment that is within your comfort zone. The class size is designed to be small so that every swimmer gets the attention needed to achieve swimming goals.
