What Ages Are Eligible to Join the Summer Swim Program?

At our summer swim program, we cater to children of various age groups, ensuring a structured and age-appropriate learning environment for swimmers at all levels. The eligibility for joining our summer swim camp starts as young as three years old and extends through teenagers up to 15 years old. We segment our participants into different groups based on age, which helps us tailor our swimming instructions and activities to match their developmental needs and capabilities.

For our youngest swimmers, aged 3-5, we focus heavily on making them comfortable in the water and teaching them basic water safety and fundamental swim strokes. As children grow and progress in age and skill level, we introduce more complex techniques and swim strokes designed to refine their abilities and enhance their confidence in the water. This careful age segmentation ensures each child receives the attention and instruction suitable for their age, all while fostering a fun and supportive swimming environment.

List of Activities Included in Our Summer Swim Camp

Our summer swim camp is designed not only to teach swimming but also to engage children in a wide range of exciting activities that complement their learning in the pool. Beyond standard swim lessons, our program includes:

1. Water Safety Education: We provide essential lessons on water safety to ensure children understand how to stay safe in and around water environments.

2. STEAM Activities: Utilizing aspects of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics, these activities encourage critical thinking and creativity.

3. Art and Music: Engaging in arts and music helps nurture a child’s creative expression and can be a relaxing counterbalance to physical activities.

4. Creative Movement: Activities like water aerobics boost physical fitness while being enjoyable and less structured than traditional swim lessons.

5. Splash Park Play: The splash park offers a fun and safe environment where children can enjoy water play and cool down on hot days.

Each of these activities is structured to complement swim training, providing a well-rounded camp experience that enhances physical skills, stimulates intellect, and nurtures social development in a friendly, inclusive setting.

How Do We Ensure Safety During Swim Sessions?

Safety is our top priority, and we take extensive measures to ensure that each swim session is secure for all participants. Our dedicated team of certified lifeguards and swim instructors are always on duty during swimming times, continuously monitoring the pool area and conducting regular safety checks. Each staff member is trained in CPR and first aid, ensuring they are prepared to respond effectively to any emergency.

Additionally, we maintain a low swimmer-to-instructor ratio to ensure that every child receives ample supervision and guidance. Before the onset of the swim program, we assess each child's swimming ability to appropriately group them with peers at similar skill levels. This customization allows us to tailor our swimming lessons and safety measures to meet the needs of beginners through advanced swimmers, improving the overall safety and effectiveness of the swim instruction.
