Swim Lessons

Family memberships include enrollment for each child in one swim lesson per session, which is included in membership fees. Swim lessons at Seminole emphasize fun and development, so kids learn how to stay safe and build new skills while growing a lifelong love of swimming. We teach a rigorous multilevel approach to swim lessons. We also offer a parent-and-child lesson for children under age 3.

We have morning (10:30am – 1:30pm) and evening (5pm – 6:30pm) lesson times, Monday through Thursday. Lessons for Parent-Tot through Level 3 are 30 minutes, and levels 4 through 6 are 40 minutes.

Swim Lesson Levels

These guides will help you consider the right level for your child, but if you are unsure your best bet is to talk to a manager to determine the ideal placement based on your child’s skills. Swimmers receive “report cards” on the last day of each 2-week session and instructors will recommend the appropriate level for the next session. It is not uncommon to repeat a level in order to master skills before moving up.

• Parent Tot: Parents and children in the water, singing songs and working on basic water comfort skills
• Level 1: Front and back float, retrieving objects, introduction to arms and kicking
• Level 2: Development of front crawl and back crawl arms and leg coordination and strength
• Level 3: Strength of front and back crawl, rhythmic breathing, elementary backstroke
• Level 4: Development of all strokes
• Level 5: Flip turns, lap swimming, stroke refinement
• Level 6: Endurance and stroke training, experience in other skills: diving, rescue skills
