Swimming lessons in Avon are a valuable activity for any family with children. Few skills are more important than learning how to survive in the water and what to do in an emergency. A child must know how to direct themselves to the water’s surface, float, and call for help or swim to safety.
It’s never too early to introduce your children to the water. Most swim schools offer water acclimation programs for children as young as 3 to 6-months. While the youngest children may not be ready to swim independently, confident kids learn more quickly than those who are initially afraid of the water. Children develop at different rates, but most are ready for formal instruction between the ages of 1 – 4.
Learning to swim takes time, and it’s important to remember that the goal is water safety. We recommend year-round programs that allow you to continue learning until you’ve achieved your goals. Starting and stopping can slow your progress and extend the path to proficiency.
We want everyone to join in the fun and receive the benefits swimming offers!
About Our Swimming Lessons in Avon
We teach more than swimming lessons. We teach water survival. Since 1981, our survival-first learn-to-swim program has helped thousands of families become safer around the water. We offer a variety of class levels for children ages three months to adults. New students enter a curriculum of water acclimation, water survival, and stroke skills following an initial assessment of age and experience.
First, we introduce inexperienced swimmers to the pool and focus on comfortability. In this stage, our students develop safe habits and build a foundation for long-term success. Then, swimmers gain independence while mastering water survival skills. The survival skills include jumping in, rolling over, and floating on their back. This is the safest place in the water because it allows you to breathe and call for help. After the student has achieved the goals in our survival levels, we introduce the main swimming strokes and work on making them a stronger swimmer.
