All lessons are implemented and taught by highly skilled and trained instructors. Our swim school classes are designed for swimmers age 3 and up. Swimmers progress through different levels learning water safety and proper stroke technique in all four competitive strokes. Group classes are between 2-5 students per coach (depending on level) and are 45 minutes in duration. Private lessons are also available. Please refer to charlottejcc.org for Swim School Policies and Procedures Early Childhood Lessons According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, drowning is the second leading cause of injury related death among children ages 1-4.

All lessons are implemented and taught by highly skilled and trained instructors. Our swim school classes are designed for swimmers age 3 and up. Swimmers progress through different levels learning water safety and proper stroke technique in all four competitive strokes. Group classes are between 2-5 students per coach (depending on level) and are 45 minutes in duration. Private lessons are also available. Please refer to charlottejcc.org for Swim School Policies and Procedures Youth Swim Lessons Youth Group Swim Lessons Ages: 5-10 year olds. Goggles and swim cap suggested. Details: Youth classes are great for children who have not had the opportunity to learn to swim at a young age as well as for those that wish to become better swimmers. Designed for children to learn in an environment appropriate to their age and developmental level. Suggested age to begin this journey is between 5-6 years of age. Our lessons are divided into 3 class groups with specifics goals – beginner, intermediate & advanced. Select your desired lesson day/s (below); our trained instructors will assign your child’s class level based on his/her ability on the first day of class. Beginner For the very beginner swimmer or for those who are uncomfortable in the water. Instructors work on basic water adjustment. All levels/classes include water safety skills and games. Introduction to all strokes is done progressively and adapt to child’s maturity level. Intermediate For the swimmer who is comfortable in the water and has completed beginner youth skills. Advanced For the swimmer who can comfortably swim front crawl and backstroke using over arm stroke in deepwater but who needs help with refining his/her strokes and learning the breaststroke and butterfly. Advanced classes prepare your child for future aquatic adventures like water sports, boating sports, boy scouts swim badges or even a first job as a lifeguard. Children with higher levels of stroke technique, endurance and experience will gain more respect of the water environment and have a higher awareness of water safety.
