Classes and Programs for Kids
Sea Star Swim School offers a wide variety of aquatic programming for children of all ages. Initially, all students should enroll in our regular swim school quarter for once weekly swim lessons. Once students learn basic survival skills in the water, our focus turns to teaching the competitive strokes. The goal is to help each student develop proper technique and fluid mechanics of each stroke. Students will develop a comprehensive skill set that will enhance confidence, whether they pursue competitive swimming or simply want to enjoy lap swimming as a future option for exercise.
Swim
School:
If your child is three or older, our swim school will float him/her to
new levels of confidence in the water! With small teacher to student ratios
and year round classes, we guarantee quality lessons from certified teachers.
Classes are arranged on the "Quarter" system (Spring, Summer,
Fall, Holiday, and Winter), and a quarter lasts from 8 – 10 weeks. Each
class meets once a week. Enroll now and ensure that your child will have
a foundation of self-assurance and proper stroke technique that will lead
to years of pleasure in any aquatic environment.
Sea Star’s Mission Statement is to: “Provide Excellence in Aquatic Education.”
Our learn to swim program is designed to offer convenience to our customers
that enables them to arrange a lesson time that fits into their schedule.
We group children by ages and then try to teach them according to their
ability level. At the same time, we want to see continued progress with
each individual student.
Lap Swim: For our swimmers who have demonstrated competence in the freestyle stroke and side breathing.
Little Flippers: “Little Flippers” classes are designed as a stepping
stone between swim lessons and swim team. Continued skill development
and increased fitness is achieved in these sessions as the “coach” is
in the water with the students. This environment allows more “hands on”
correction of stroke technique while swimmers are working on lap swimming.
The class moves a little more quickly than a normal swim lesson, but slower
than the swim team. Different games are incorporated that help develop
feel, balance, and propulsion through the water. Additionally, games that
incorporate the use of the pool edge help our young swimmers develop coordination
and upper body strength. See the "New Student Information" section
for a list of equipment necessary for this class.
Barracudas: A slightly more advanced version of our "Little Flippers" class. This workout lasts for an hour and is designed to be the "step" before the swim team.
