GET FISHY WITH J SPLASH ACADEMY!
MORE LEVELS, MORE CONFIDENCE, MORE FUN
The J Splash Academy, at the Staenberg Family Complex in Creve Coeur, is an all-encompassing learn-to-swim program designed to create confident, strong, lifelong swimmers of all ages, starting at six months.
Instructors are trained to offer compassion-based instruction, positive reinforcement and encouragement each step of the way. The program provides opportunity for skill/level progression, regular feedback and accomplishment awards for swimmers as they progress through the “fishy” levels.
There are three pillars of J Splash Academy:
1. Introduction to Water & Water Safety Skills
2. Basic Swimming Skills
3. Competitive Swimming Technique MORE LEVELS + MORE CONFIDENCE = MORE FUN!
British Swim School
The British Swim School is partnering with the J to teach lessons at the Marilyn Fox Building in Chesterfield. The British Swim School (BSS) has been dedicated to teaching water survival skills to children as young as three months for more than 40 years. Like the J, BSS believes it is mission-critical to teach children to swim and to be safe while enjoying the water. With its large instructor base and our large pool, we can serve even more families in the Chesterfield area. BSS lessons are available at various times each day. britishswimschool.com/st-louis/the-j-chesterfield
