All lessons are private, one-on-one lessons.
Children 8 months old and crawling up to 3 years old will learn to navigate the water from various presentations, move themselves to the surface, roll onto their back, and maintain an independent float.
Children over 3 years will learn a short basic swim before rolling on their back to breathe and flip over to swim again. Older children will learn more advanced arm pulls and productive kicks.
All age and developmentally appropriate skills will be mastered before moving on to more advanced swimming behaviors. This will happen most effectively and efficiently with a series of consecutive lessons. There are no set number of lessons. Students should remain in lessons until they master their skills.
We will work with you and your child to ensure that reliable skills are obtained in a reasonable amount of time.
Each student will have a 15-minute time block each lesson, but actual lesson time is tailored to each student.
Ideally, new students attend lessons 4 days/week for 4 weeks (16 lessons).
Lessons located at a private residence in South Oceanside, Ca
