| Philosophy |
| Our Program Directors, Site Supervisors, and Coaching Staff have been professionally trained to offer your child the very latest in teaching and learning techniques. Our program is based on two philosophies: "goal driven" and "technique oriented". Goal Driven means that we have ten well defined skills that represent "graduation points" to the next level in the system. By having ten skills, we are able to reward the effort of the child at every phase of the learn-to-swim progression and help build their personal confidence in their ability to learn. Technique Oriented means that we are concerned with teaching proper stroke mechanics from the beginning. Correcting errors is a much more difficult process later in the development progression. Our coaches emphasize correct learning from the first lesson. With a maximum of 3 students per coach, these philosophies are reinforced with each and every lesson. After 25 years as the leading swim lesson program in the area, we continue to distinguish ourselves from other programs. Our coaches are qualified to teach all levels, thereby maintaining your child's momentum. We do have coaches that specialize in certain levels/age groups allowing us to offer the best possible instruction for your child. By continuing to have the smallest class sizes in the Tri Valley Area, we are able to progress students through constant evaluation by staff without stalling their progress. What this means for your child is that once skills are achieved to pass a particular level, your child's coach will automatically begin working on the next set of skills....it's that simple! |
