Summer Lessons at The Timbers of Eureka

British Swim School was founded on the belief that every child should learn water safety and survival skills. For over 40 years, we have been dedicated to our mission: “survival of the littlest”. Our unique methodologies, programs, and techniques are proven to save lives and teach people of all ages how to swim.

Our highly trained, experienced, and friendly swim instructors teach swimming lessons that focus on safety, fun, and developing skills during every single class. Every child is different, and our program is purposely designed to help any student no matter the age or ability.

Students learn better in small groups: that is why our lessons are limited to 4 students. Students get the benefit of watching each other and instructors focus on each student’s individual needs.

Levels

We offer the following levels this summer at the Timbers of Eureka:

 

WHITE — Water Acclimation & Beginner Water Safety

3 months to 36 months (with parent)

Not just another mommy-and-me playtime. This class will build your infant’s or toddler’s confidence in the water and introduce foundational water safety skills, including how to roll over and float, using our structured program of songs, games, and fun.

 

PURPLE — Advanced Water Safety

18 months to 36 months

Swim instructors work with each child individually to master the water safety skills introduced in the white level. Parents are not in the pool, but actively participate in the class from the pool deck.

 

YELLOW — Beginner Water Safety

3 years and up

The Yellow level is for children 3 and up just starting their journey to becoming swimmers. This class will build your child’s confidence in the water and teach foundational water safety skills, including how to roll over and float, through our structured program using fun, gentle methods.

 

RED — Advanced Water Safety & Beginner Swimming

3 years and up

The Red level reinforces and builds on the safety skills from the Yellow level by introducing propulsion skills for water survival. Children learn beginner freestyle and backstroke to build confidence and prepare for our stroke development level.

 

BLUE — Stroke Skills

3 years and up

Swimmers will learn correct arm, leg, and breathing techniques for freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke, and be introduced to butterfly. Students are constantly moving, swimming at the same time as each other, to gain repetitions and improve their endurance.

Private, semi-private, and special abilities lessons are available at our other pools, located at year-round pools. Click here for locations.

Weather Cancellations & Makeups

Timbers of Eureka staff will determine whether the pool must be closed due to weather or other circumstances. A makeup lesson will be offered if a lesson is cancelled due to a pool closure. Makeups will not be offered for student absences.

What’s so special about British Swim School?

Here’s what sets us apart:

✅  SAFETY is our top priority. We teach our students critical SURVIVAL SKILLS that will help keep them safe in the event of an accident. Drowning is the number one cause of death for children 1-4 years old (50% higher than car accidents), but lessons can reduce that risk by up to 88%.

✅  We teach all of our survival levels WITHOUT FLOATIES or GOGGLES. Our goal is to prepare our students for real-life accidents, rather than relying on equipment they won’t always have.

✅  Our water-survival lessons work for students of ALL AGES. We start as early as 3 months to make sure your little one is ready before they can crawl or walk to the pool. But it is never too late for older children or adults to learn the skills that will give them confidence around the water.

✅  No one has more expertise. British Swim School lessons are based on 40 YEARS OF TEACHING EXPERIENCE. We have taught hundreds of thousands of students and currently teach more than 17,000 lessons per week nationwide – and we have seen it all. Every child is different, and our program is purposely designed to help any student no matter the age or ability.

✅  Our COHESIVE PROGRAM builds on itself at every level. The survival skills we teach our youngest beginners become the foundation for proper swimming form and technique as they advance, with no wasted skills such as doggy paddle or bobbing that must be untaught later.

✅  British Swim School instructors are amazingly FRIENDLY and HIGHLY TRAINED. They know that being a great instructor takes more than just knowing the strokes, it takes building a real connection with every student and adapting to meet their individual needs.

✅  Our students progress AT THEIR OWN PACE. We offer lessons year round on an ongoing basis – not in sessions – because your child’s progress should be based on his or her skills, not our schedule. No student is ever held back or pressured by the progress of the other students.

✅  British Swim School lessons are GOAL-BASED. Master the goals for your level and move up right away. We will help you and your child understand the goals for your level, so you know why they are important and what is needed do to graduate.

✅  Students learn better in SMALL GROUPS: that’s why British Swim School’s classes are limited to 4 students. Students get the benefit of watching each other while giving our instructors the flexibility to focus on each student’s individual needs.
