Little Fish

SwimSRQ's Parent & Me program begins at 5 months and continues until children turn 3. Within this time period, parents are present in the water, guiding children in learning skills such as floating on back, breath control and finding the wall. Teaching basic water comfort, swimming foundations, and safety techniques forms the core of these early lessons. Little Fish lessons are not only a wonderful bonding activity, but provide parents with tools to further their child's swimming abilities at home. Classes are divided into 2 groups by age. Student to Instructor ratio is 6:1.

swim team

Swim Team

The swim team is a fun group opportunity for children  who want to make swimming a bigger part of their weekly routine, but are not interested in competitive swimming (at this time). We will teach & refine all four strokes and diving!  Swim team practices are 45-55 minutes and are offered several times per week. Before joining swim team, children should be able to swim 25 yards of backstroke and freestyle independently, and have basic understanding of butterfly and breaststroke. If you aren’t sure whether your child is ready, please contact us for a free evaluation.  

Attendance is not mandatory, but our hope is that offering multiple  practices per week provides flexibility and options, and we encourage kids to swim as often as possible.
