What do you learn in LTS classes?
Our students are taught accurate body positioning and how to be balanced in the water, which promotes increasingly efficient swimming. Our LTS lessons are tailored to each student, building on strengths and improving weaknesses. Our adult program follows the same curriculum. We ensure our students learn to swim all four strokes (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly). This positions students well should they choose to swim competitively in the future.
How does tuition work for Learn-To-Swim classes?
Learn-To-Swim (LTS) monthly billing occurs on the first of each month until an end date is established. The LTS monthly charge is based on the number of your scheduled days that occur in the month. Makeup sessions are limited to two per month and are valid for three months. There is a one-time registration fee.
Do you provide adult swim lessons?
Yes. Our adult program lessons are tailored to each student in order to build strengths and to improve weaknesses. Whether you’re working on the diving board or simply putting your head under water, this is your safe space!
