INITIAL PROGRAM
The program starts with 6 weeks
Monday through Friday
5 days a week attendance is required
Classes are all one on one
10 minutes per day
Individual results vary and your child may require additional classes
New classes start every Monday
Swimmers 12 months and up will be taught a Swim-Float-Swim sequence.
They will learn an efficient way to propel themselves from one place to another by being able to swim head down with their eyes open, roll to their backs and breathe, and depending on their confidence and skill level roll back over to continue swimming.
Can't we just do 20 minutes a day for less weeks?
We wish that could work too!
Unfortunately doing a 20 minute lesson for less days does not produce the same results as the 6 week program
But coming twice a day for 3 weeks -10 minutes per class is a good option
Fridays are Family Days!
Though only the child and instructor are in the water Monday through Thursday, Parents /Caregivers are Invited Into the Water To Participate in the Lesson every Friday. Bringing family members in the water gives the child the opportunity to show off their their newly acquired skills, building the child’s self-esteem and confidence. This also gives us the opportunity to demonstrate the proper ways to reinforce the techniques taught in our program. As with any skill, practice is essential!
3 Week Session Monday Through Friday (2x/day)
If you would like to shorten the length of time to 3 weeks, we can still achieve the same results by having 2 classes per day
There must be a minimum of 2 1/2 to 3 hours between each class
Indidvidual results vary and your child may require additional classes
For example, 9 am and 3 pm
Twice a day
Can't we just do 20 minutes a day instead of having to come twice a day??
We wish that could work too!
Unfortunately 15 - 20 minute lessons does not produce the same results as 30 separate lessons
REFRESHER COURSE
Has your child completed the initial program but has been out of the water for some time or not been practicing?
Our refresher course is booked week by week as needed
Children don’t lose their swimming and floating skills, but sometimes lose the confidence to perform them.
This class focuses on building back their confidence to perform and master skills already taught and getting them ready to move on to maintenance or stroke lessons.
10 minutes per day, Monday through Friday
Great Kicking!
Good swimming with your face in the water!
Nice floating!
Things NOT to say:
Stop crying! Big Boys Don't Cry!
It is natural for kids to be nervous, unsure, and crying so just try to be positive while they are learning : )
No other sport is more vital to your child’s health and well-being.
We strongly recommend ongoing practice and participation in our advanced programs.

ADULT SWIM LESSONS
It's never too late to learn!
All of our adult swim lessons are private one on one, 30 minutes each

Practice is the key to retaining skills.
INSTRUCTOR TRAINING
Want to make a difference in children's lives?
Want to have a rewarding and fun career?
Our training gives you the ability to teach these important life-saving skills that every child should know.
Aquachild's technique consists of a roll-over breathing method that teaches students to be able to swim float swim in a survival sequence.
We’ve taught many new instructors here, in the US, as well as internationally. In 2010, we helped start the first survival swim school to use this method in Panama. We have had national exposure on CNN, Today Show, and numerous local stations as well as Telemundo and Univision.
This is an excellent opportunity to start a profitable and rewarding new business or to use in addition to your existing swim program.
