COLLEGE FOR KIDSSWIM LESSONS

Parent and Child Swim (Age 6 months-3 years) Designed to give young children a head start on swimming, to get comfortable in the water and begin to work on basic skills while interacting with instructor and other children in a fun and safe environment. Parents and children learn together to increase a child’s comfort level in the water and build a foundation of basic skills, such as arm and leg movements and breath control. Lessons are fun-filled and help introduce water safety concepts, encouraging a healthy recreational habit that your entire family can enjoy. Wear a bathing suit and have children wear water diapers if needed. (8 meetings)

Children are not permitted in the gym/pool area. (8 meetings)


Private Swim LessonsImprove or master your swimming skills with individualized attention. Instructors, participants and/or parents work together to determine goals for the session and lessons are then customized in order to meet the established goals. Private lessons are great for beginners, people with disabilities, people who have had a negative experience with water or for those who want to improve their skills in a private 1-1 setting.

All swim lessons are based on the American Red Cross Swim Lesson Program, which offers classes for all ages and levels. There are no ages listed with the levels, as each swimmer is different and we encourage all swimmers to develop their skills at their own pace and comfort. Some swimmers will require more training in basic skills while other swimmers are ready to learn more advanced skills. All lessons are held at the indoor pool. Children five and under must be accompanied by parents. Students should bring a towel and wear a swimsuit. Ladies must wear a one-piece or tankini (no midriff showing), males must wear swim shorts (no speedos). Yair Colon and Dusty Davis are certified water safety instructors.

If you need assistance selecting the appropriate level please sign up for a free 10-minute Swim Evaluation slot between 10:30 am-12:30 pm on Saturday May 5 by calling 254-526-1586. In this evaluation, certified water safety instructors will evaluate the child’s ability and recommend an instructional level for registration.
