Swim School Swim School Levels

Our Family Wellness Swim School takes pride in our exciting water-safe program. Our philosophy is that each child progresses at their own pace. Through positive reinforcement, practice and patience, students learn water-safe swimming skills while having fun. This aquatic facility will run swimming lessons for everyone starting at the age of 6 months through adulthood. Classes are once a week for 30 minutes in our large pool to encourage year-round lessons. Families that want to swim more than once a week are encouraged to do so. Classes are structured by age and ability to accommodate varying skill levels within each age group. Our student to teacher ratios are 4:1 except for our Parent/Baby and Parent/Child classes which are 6:1. Our goal is to teach your child in a fun, safe environment that builds confidence, self-esteem and a feeling of accomplishment.

Swim School Levels Parent/Baby (PB)

Parents learn to properly hold their 6-18 month old baby while working on floating, submerging, hand/ eye coordination, and strength through games and songs.

Parent/Child (PC)

Toddlers ages 19-35 months. Parents learn to work with their child on floating, breath control for submerging, climbing out of the pool on their own, and muscle strengthening.

Transitional Parent/Child (TPC)

Toddlers who have successfully completed Parent/Child, but aren’t ready for Guppy. Parents will start in the water with their children, but eventually toddlers will learn how to be comfortable in the water independent of their parents.

They will work on listening skills and waiting their turn. Must have instructor recommendation to register.

Guppy

Children 3 years old can begin getting comfortable in the water independent of their parents. Through patience and trust, children in this level will overcome their fear and eventually swim independently.

Starfish

Encouragement and positive reinforcement help kids become more confident floating on their front and back as well as kicking across the pool on their back independently.

Froggie

Participants will build on their independent swimming ability by swimming further distances. Being able to transition from swimming on their front to their back is one of the safety skills stressed.

Turtle

Children will build on previous levels by beginning to define swim strokes like elementary backstroke, front crawl, and backstroke.

Otter

Swimmers will build endurance, confidence, and skill on the strokes learned in Turtle. They will also learn dolphin kick and breaststroke.

Seal

Children will progress by learning flip turns, butterfly, sidestroke and breaststroke timing. Endurance will be increased even more by working to swim 300 yards continuously.

Shark

These experienced swimmers will be able to swim multiple lengths of the pool in each of the competitive strokes: front crawl, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly. Children will also be skilled in elementary backstroke, sidestroke and water safety.

Adaptive

These one-on-one lessons are for swimmers with special needs and are tailored towards the skills of each participant. Instructors will communicate with parents to ensure that the class is working towards an agreed upon goal.

Private Lessons

Private lessons are a good option for those who may want or need more one-on-one attention. Please call our Aquatics Coordinator at 701.234.6960 for further information on private swimming lessons.

Adult Beginner Lessons This class is for beginner swimmers who would like to learn the basic strokes for lap swim or be able to swim recreationally.
