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