Foundation

In the Foundation tier, babies and toddlers discover the joy of water through play-based learning. With a parent or caregiver in the pool, they learn essential safety skills — breath control, floating, and moving along the wall — while building trust and coordination. Every splash is a step toward lifelong water confidence.

  • First Bubbles: Blowing bubbles and getting face wet without fear
  • Back Float: Relaxing into the water's support on their back
  • Wall Crawlers: Moving independently along the pool edge
  • Start Aqua Tots

    Fundamentals

    The Fundamentals tier transforms water-comfortable toddlers into confident independent swimmers. Through games, songs, and imaginative play, children master front/back floats, roll-to-breathe, and the building blocks of freestyle and backstroke. Safety skills are woven into every lesson — jump in, turn around, return to wall.

  • Face in Water: Comfortable putting face in and blowing bubbles
  • Independent Float: Front and back float without support
  • Roll to Breathe: Rolling to back for air during swim

    Development

    In the Development tier, swimmers move beyond basics to master efficient, powerful technique across all four competitive strokes. Structured drill progressions, video analysis, and monthly timed trials build the aerobic capacity and race skills needed for swim team, triathlon, or lifelong fitness swimming. Character grows alongside capability.

  • Freestyle Mastery: Consistent side breathing and streamlined body position
  • Backstroke & Breaststroke: Legal technique for all competitive strokes
  • Butterfly Introduction: Dolphin kick and full butterfly coordination

    Mastery

    The Mastery tier represents the pinnacle of swimming achievement. Squad swimmers train multiple sessions weekly for regional and national competition. Teen and adult swimmers refine technique for triathlon, masters competition, or fitness. Private coaching accelerates any goal. This is where swimming becomes a lifestyle — discipline, community, and the confidence that you can do anything.

  • Competitive Racing: Legal IM, race strategy, national qualifying times
  • Endurance Athlete: 500m+ continuous, open water skills, triathlon ready
  • Technical Perfection: Video-analyzed stroke efficiency, injury prevention
