The goal of American Swim Academy is to promote water safety, comfort and stroke technique at all levels of swimming. Each swimmer will develop independence and body awareness in the water through a variety of skill focused class levels.

Class sizes are small. No more than 4 students per class. Our beginning swimmers first learn to love the water so that they will be eager and ready to learn proper form and technique. As the swimmers progress, they learn the most efficient body position and movement for “swimming ease”. During each half hour class the swimmers will also practice water safety skills such as falling in, turning around and getting the wall, survival back floats and treading water.

Our swimmers progress at their own rate, depending on each child’s water comfort, age, listening skills and motivation. Our ribbon program is designed to reward and motivate the swimmers as they learn new skills. Throughout the session, the instructors and managers continually assess the students. As the students pass the skills required at each level, they are immediately awarded the appropriate ribbon and passed on to the next skill level. Swimmers will not be required to change classes; each teacher is trained to teach all skill levels.
