Academics & Swim Lessons
Sign up for swimming lessons times and weeks at the front desk.
Academics Instruction is a 6 week program designed to
support students in the areas of Language Arts and Math. This is a
support course to help students who are at grade level, it is not a
challenge or advanced course.
Swimming Lessons
Ages 5 to 10 (going into kindergarten, first,
second, third, fourth and fifth grades)
The primary goals of the lessons are twofold; one, to help swimmers
improve their technical skills, and two, to help educate and motivate
swimmers to encourage their progress. Swimmers are taught in a
structured and enjoyable environment that emphasizes individual
improvement. The camp focuses on stroke instruction. Participants will be
broken into smaller groups based upon age and ability, which will allow for
individualized instruction.
