We feel very strongly that every little one should have the basic skills to know how to float and swim (when age appropriate), and I feel privileged to be able to do this life-saving work.
Students should begin lessons starting at 6 months of age. At a young age, we will focus on floating for survival.
Once they can walk, we can then move into swimming techniques to get them to the side of the pool.
Then, when the child is a confident swimmer, we can work on strokes.
Do... Offer rewards. If they are food, it may be best to wait until all the air is out of their body.
Don't... Hot tubs are fun, but they don't allow for any real swimming. Let's keep vertical playtime to a limit and encourage horizontal swimming.
Lessons are held at my private pool at my home in Winter Park, Florida.
Each lesson is 10 minutes per day and can take 4 to 8 weeks.
Your child will swim Monday-Thursday each week.
Weekly fees are due every Sunday and are $110 per week per child for new and refresher lessons, REGARDLESS of the number of times you can make it to the lessons that week.
Full payment is still due at the beginning of each week and make ups will be scheduled if needed and your scheduled time may change.
Once a child has mastered survival swim, I am able to work on beginner strokes if appropriate.
