SwimAmerica is a high-quality program with very defined goals and objectives. Using the Station Teaching Method, children are placed in small groups and move to higher skills as they achieve the advancement goals of their present group. There are 10 stations (or levels) in all. From blowing bubbles to swimming all four strokes, children are rewarded for their efforts every stroke of the way! Graduation certificates and advancement cards are presented to children to help build their swimming confidence.

The SwimAmerica program is Technique-Oriented. We focus on teaching proper stroke mechanics from the very beginning. Children who have gone through this program acquire the proper skills for swimming effectively in future endeavors, like the variety of water sports available in our area. Coaches are thrilled to gain a swim team member who has gone through the SwimAmerica program!

Water safety is an important part of the program. Early on, children are taught to “roll over and float.” This is a necessary skill in case of a water emergency. “Roll over and float” will be reviewed at every lesson. And while SwimAmerica students receive only the highest quality instruction, it’s important to remember that no child is ever water safe unless supervised by an adult at the water’s edge.

The Perks
At SwimAmerica, we do everything we can to ensure a positive and fun swimming lesson for your child. In addition to receiving a great swim lesson, children are rewarded each day with a “high five,” sticker, tattoo, hand stamp, and sometimes candy. Ring Pops are always a favorite!

The Bell Ringing ceremony is designed to acknowledge your child’s progress in the program. Once children graduate to the next station, they get to ring the ceremonial bell for all to hear! Parents, have your camera ready for this special moment!

A Graduation Certificate is awarded to each child after they master Level 1. Upon graduating from future levels, children are given special gold stickers to place on their certificate. In addition, they are given an Advancement Card that lists the requirements for their next level. Parents appreciate knowing what children will be mastering at each level in the program.
