4S Swim
Lessons:
All beginner lessons with an instructor in the water maintain a 3:1 student to teacher ratio. Swimmers in the 30-minute lessons are taught individually, with our instructors working directly with them to fulfill any and all of their swimming needs at least twice weekly for 30 minutes at a time.
Our instructors will teach the swimmers as young as 2.5 years (if potty-trained) learn how to swim in any depth of water, to swim from point A to point B, to tread water, to dive/jump into the pool, and to have total confidence within the water. Upon completing this swimmers are now considered to be completely water safe and can then learn how to swim their basic strokes, including freestyle (with side breathing), backstroke, and butterfly. If your child is already water safe, then the instructors can work with them on the basic strokes listed above to get them ready to advance to our Novice Swimming Groups.
Lessons need to be scheduled beforehand, typically two days and times per week, for up to 4 consecutive weeks per session. To schedule, visiting the front desk during office hours or emailing the 4S Pool (contact information is at the bottom of the page) with your ideal days/time. Availability is limited, but we will work with you to find the best time that fits your needs and maintains that 3:1 ratio. Once scheduled, you'll be given a date range* to check against your family's schedules before they begin.
Important Note: There are no makeups, so all included and excluded dates from the scheduled date range* must be confirmed when the session begins. Please arrive early to the office on the first day of each session to confirm the schedule before payment so they don't miss any time in the water. All summer, following sessions (if consecutive) are at the same times. However, if the first day of next session is missed, the rest may be cancelled.
