Swim lessons with Safe Aquatics
What to expect
Our methods work
Lessons adapted to YOUR student
Too many swim schools try a “one size fits all” approach. At Safe Aquatics, we use our years of teaching experience to identify exactly what a student needs to succeed. We will adapt the drills and focus repetition where each individual student needs it- instead of treating class like an assembly line. If your child is excelling, we will challenge them more! As highly experienced swim teachers, we can quickly identify what is needed to provide excellent lessons.
Teachers who care
We have spent most of our lives involved with aquatics, and spent our working years helping people of all ages find a love of swimming. You may have encountered teachers who lack knowledge or a passion for teaching swimming… to them it’s just a job. The difference with Safe Aquatics is that we are highly experienced and have a genuine love for what we do. We have chosen to dedicate our efforts towards our love for teaching swimming, and it shows in our work!
Safety first
Our main focus is always making sure students are safe in the water. We give babies – even just 4 months old – a head start in learning to move in the water. Going to a back float after a fall, getting your face and airways out of water, reaching for the wall… these are all skills that can learned by even your littlest ones. We work toward independence in the water as students get older, and teach all these early skills and habits in a way that progresses perfectly into advanced stroke work later on.
Proper foundation
As competitive swimmers and coaches, we’ve spent years studying and understanding swimming technique. We’ve found the best ways to teach our students how to learn good body position in the water. Poor technique is not only hard to unlearn, but can lead to injury as swimmers get older. That’s why we set a foundation, from the very beginning, for our students to develop excellent technique.
