Swim Classes & Tuition
Survival Swim to Float: 6 months & up
Non-walking infants 6 months and up (able to sit up independently) will be taught breath control until they rotate from any position in the water to a back float. The baby will learn to rest and breathe on their back until help arrives. After accomplishing these skills in their swim diapers, infants will then practice their skills in summer clothing and then progress onto winter clothing. This is critical to survival swimming because most children who find themselves in the water alone are fully clothed. This is, without a doubt, the BEST age to start your child in swim lessons!(Registration includes our neoprene reusable swim diaper required in lessons.)

Survival Swim Float Swim: 1 - 6 years
Walking toddlers and young children will learn the Swim-Float-Swim sequence. Children will learn to jump or "fall" in and swim a distance with their faces fully submerged and then roll onto their backs and float and rest whenever they need to breathe, and then finally flip off their back onto their tummies to continue to swim safely to the side and crawl out. After accomplishing these skills in their swimsuits, they will then practice their skills in fall clothing and then progress onto winter clothing. This is critical to survival swimming because most children who find themselves in the water alone are fully clothed. (Registration includes our neoprene reusable swim diaper required in lessons for children 3 and under or those still in diapers.)

Survival Swimming w/ Float: 7 years & up
For older children (or parents) who have not yet learned to swim, the same basic principles apply to learn the Swim-Float-Swim sequence. They will learn to jump or "fall" in and swim a distance with their faces fully submerged, then to roll onto their backs and float and rest whenever they need to breathe, and finally to flip off their back to continue to swim safely to the side and climb out. Because of their ability to listen to verbal instruction and increased attention span and stamina, longer lesson times may be introduced, as well as less frequent lesson days and shorter program duration if needed to accommodate scheduling. Depending on their pace of learning, additional forms of breathing/swimming styles may also be introduced.

Continuing Student Progressive Lessons: Beginner Strokes
These lessons are designed as a continuation of our SFS programs with added introductory methods in Olympic stroke techniques, diving, turns, air exchange and stamina, etc. If your child has become fully skilled in our Infant Aquatics SFS program within the past 12 months, this course is highly recommended, and there is no registration fee. Your instructor may need to perform a quick in-water swim assessment to see if they qualify, depending on their age and skill development. This course is suggested for children ages 5-12 years old.

Starter Swimmers Water Acclimation w/ Parent: (newborn - 12 months)
If you find yourself not yet ready for a commitment to one of the above programs, this "Mommy & Me" type class (for Dads or Grandparents too!) is designed as an opportunity for parents and their infants to get in the water and experience the first steps of water safety. Water on the face can be a weird sensory experience for babies. They will need to learn how to hold their breath when water is near their nose and mouth. Then they will learn to get air when it is clear. Water may feel strange when their eyes get wet. They will need to learn to blink the water away to see again. Their ears may fill but within moments they will be able to hear again. Toys, games and songs with the parent help a child tolerate these sensations from early on and will greatly enhance their success in future survival swim instruction. Observation of other lessons is also encouraged to give a view of the program in action! This course is available for children ages 2-12 months old. Come get to know Miss Zoe and have fun at baby group swim time!

New or Continuing Student SFS Refresher: 1 - 6 years
This 4-day/week one-on-one program is designed as a follow-up to completion of a prior Survival: Swim-Float-Swim program. If your child has had Infant Aquatics SFS lessons (or other self-rescue type lessons from a different provider) within the past 6 months, this course is recommended. Your instructor may need to perform a quick in-water swim assessment to see if they qualify, depending on their age and skill development. They will sharpen their skills and re-learn how to survive and get to air in the event that they unexpectedly find themselves in water. Children typically take 2 to 3 weeks to refresh. This course is suggested for children ages 1-6 years old. (New LLSIA student registration includes our neoprene reusable swim diaper required for children 3 years and under or those still in diapers.)
