The Swim Academy has been owned and operated by Craig and Janice since it was founded in 1993. The Academy has taught thousands of children how to swim in a professional and innovative environment.
Our quality instruction is based on our advanced curriculum, which helps any child to succeed while building confidence through the mastery of skills. We offer premium learn to swim programs for your family.
WE ARE NOW USING A SALTWATER CHLORINATION SYSTEM. WE FIND THIS TO BE EASIER ON THE KIDS EYES, SKIN AND ON THE BATHING SUITS.
From Beginners..... We find that the best age to start children swimming is when they can listen and understand what the instructor is trying to help them learn. This is usually at the age of 2. When a child is willing to go with a teacher rather than Mom or Dad, they tend to try harder, and show Mom and Dad just how big and independent they are.
We teach according to the child's ability, not by what "level" they are assigned. Sometimes children amaze everyone and jump levels. At The Swim Academy, children that surpass expectations, are pushed by the teacher to do their personal best, and not held back because they catch on quickly. In most cases, one child's eagerness can motivate the rest of the class to try harder. What a great influence!!
To Moderate Swimmers..... We teach the 4 main swimming strokes...front crawl, backstroke, breast stroke and butterfly. Our instructors break the strokes into segments and teach each piece with different techniques and drills to help the swimmers understand how to swim the stroke better and with less effort.
We keep our class sizes small. At the most, a full class has 4 children to every instructor. With these small classes, it is easier for the kids to get the personal attention that is so needed to develop a strong swimmer. We motivate the children by awarding them with ribbons for the lower levels, medals for the junior levels, small trophies for the intermediate swimmers, and larger trophies for the senior levels and higher. When a swimmer sees the reward for working hard....they try even harder!
To Swimming Superstars! At the higher level of our lessons, the swimmers are taught to challenge themselves. Our Royal Olympic levels are combined with our Master levels, to try and challenge the swimmers to out swim themselves. Each of the 6 levels of the Royal Olympic levels are based on a timed swim. When a swimmer is able to swim a certain distance under a certain time, they are rewarded at the end of the session with a large trophy for their accomplishment.
Like all great swimmers, they started in a lessons program that worked on the technical aspects of each stroke. With proper training, dedication, and the right teachers, there is no stopping a swimmer determined to reach higher levels of swimming. It all begins here with the right lesson program.
What if a swimmer doesn't accomplish all the requirements for the level they are in? Do they still get a reward? Of course they do. They receive the same award as everyone else passing that level, but they just have to repeat. When they do pass, they receive another award for that level.
