We are so excited to have you join our developmental Swim School for the 2025 Season! Our experienced, trained instructors offer a carefully developed curriculum, pending certification from USA Swimming, based on national water safety AND stroke building models, to help your young swimmers gain water confidence and vital safety skills, while building a proper foundation for each of the four competitive strokes.
Other staples of our program?? Lots of FUN, Positive Reinforcement and Basic Goal-setting to help foster a life-long love of this great sport in our youngest Marlins! Read on down for LOTS of great information and Welcome!
Swim School Groups:
STARS for our potty-trained 3 years + who are new to the water, but are confident leaving their parent!
Max swimmers: just 4 per class
STARS 6+ for older beginners who are 6-9 years old!
Max swimmers: just 5 per class
STARS 11+ for pre-teens and teens who are new to swim lessons!
Max swimmers: just 5 per class (offered intermittently)
SHARKS for our potty-trained 3 years + who can confidently catch a breath and fully submerge upon request. They are also starting to explore the water independently.
Max swimmers: just 5 per class
STINGRAYS for our 4 years + who can demonstrate proper unsupported body position on top of the water, front and back. Think a relaxed front float with face in, and a relaxed back float with head back and tummy up! Our STINGRAYS must come with an established flutter kick and be comfortable in deeper water.
Max swimmers: just 5 per class
MINI-MARLINS for our 4 years + who are proficient in all prior skills and: freestyle (without side breathing is okay!) and backstroke for 12-15 yards. They are very safe in water over their heads and are ready to master side-breathing freestyle and competition backstroke, while learning foundational butterfly and breaststroke kicks and drills. Upon successful demonstration of MINI-MARLIN skills, we graduate our swimmers to the Team’s Splash 1 practice group!
Max swimmers: just 6 per class
MINI-MARLINS 2 for our 5 years + who are proficient in all prior skills and: 25 yards of freestyle (with side breathing!) and 25 yards of backstroke. They are very safe in water over their heads and are ready to master breaststroke and butterfly. This is a great non-competitive option to continue to progress with the four competitive strokes as well as racing starts and flip turns.
Max swimmers: 8 per class
SWIM FIT has two age range options: 6-10 and 10-14. Swim Fit is for kids & teens who are looking for a fun way to stay fit, cross-train for other sports and/or improve his or her swimming stroke technique. Each class will have elements of aerobic development, stroke technique for freestyle and backstroke as well as breaststroke and butterfly kick, specialized drills, turn work and some fun aquatic games. Focus is on developing correct swimming technique combined with swimming for fitness (non- competitive). Students must be able to pass a swim test in the deep water to participate in Swim Fit. This is NOT a beginner or novice learn to swim program. Swimsuit and goggles are required.
PARENT TOT for our 9-36 month old swimmers and their Adult helpers. Through the use of songs, games and play, we teach you how to help your child tolerate and grow to enjoy the water. We will also guide you through life-saving skill progressions to help you increase your child's safety in and around the water!
Max pairs: 8 pairs per class (class offered intermittently)

PLEASE NOTE:
- Most evening and weekend classes meet once per week, but we recommend two classes per week for best results. We do offer twice-weekly evening classes for our higher levels for those families seeking a larger commitment and quicker progress!
- We DO have built-in breaks for holidays and vacations! Check out our Swim School Schedule page of this website for our holiday/vacation no-swim dates and mark your calendars today!
- IMPORTANT: No switching classes, or dropping into a different class at your same level is ever allowed. Know that: if you must miss one of your scheduled class dates, we will always provide tips and skills for you to work on, on your own that week! We are always ready to support you in the event of a missed class, simply not in another one. Our swimmers’ success depends on known, small-groups developing together with their assigned instructor over the course of a Session, without interruption. Thank you.**
