EVO Swim School has an array of classes designed to help your child evolve into a great swimmer. Our goals for your child consist of five methodical steps. First, we will introduce your child to the water and help him or her build confidence in a new environment. Second, your child will be taught basic swimming skills for backyard fun and survival if necessary. Thirdly, we will introduce students to “form” swimming for efficiency in the water, and as the first step to learning the four competitive strokes. Fourth, we will refine their form, improve their endurance, and encourage their love of the water. And finally, we will perfect all four competitive strokes, and (if desired) introduce them to swimming as a sport.
Nine months to three years old (younger babies will require special permission). One instructor per 6 parent/tot companionships. A parent, grandparent, or authorized adult must be in the water with their child. Instruction includes how to handle and work with your baby in the water.
This parent/tot class requires an adult to be in the water with each baby or tot. First time swimmers will focus on a basic introduction to the water with emphasis placed on becoming relaxed, holding their breath and participation in a group setting. A great bonding experience for both parent and tot!
This parent/tot class requires an adult to be in the water with each baby or tot. Designed for babies who have experienced our Starfish level, are comfortable in the water and have learned to hold their breath. Emphasis in this class will be placed on breath control, unassisted movement in the water, floating, and baby survival skills. This class will prepare your child for a regular group lesson without Mom or Dad in the water.
Children can start at 2.5 years old (or 20 months with parent/tot instruction). Otter class level has one instructor per four students. Seal class level has one instructor per four students. Instruction designed to help young children be comfortable and relaxed in the water and acquire basic water survival skills.
