Our most popular program, and the one the ladder was built around. Water safety first, then stroke development, in groups small enough that a coach still knows what every child did last week.
From $172 a month for four lessons · 3 children per instructor in the youngest group.
Children are grouped by what they can do in water, not only by how old they are. That is what the 11-level ladder is for: a five-year-old who has never floated and a five-year-old working on freestyle belong in different water, and both are catered for.
Every level has a name, a skill it teaches and the one that comes next, so a parent watching from the deck can see where their child is and where they are going.
Two age bands, both four lessons a month. Group sizes are smaller for the youngest swimmers, which is what the difference in price pays for.
Every level starts with what to do when a child ends up in water without meaning to. Stroke work is built on top of that foundation.
A coach moves a child up the week the skill arrives. Levels run continuously, so a swimmer can start and can move on any week of the year.
A monthly tier covers four lessons at the same time each week, which is what makes it possible to plan the rest of the family around it.
The same 11 levels run all the way to the pre-team group, so nobody has to start again somewhere else when the strokes arrive.
Part of the same 11-level progression the whole school runs on, so nobody starts again when they move.
Bring your child, the goggles, and thirty minutes. We place them on the ladder on day one.
