We believe that small group lessons are a more effective and fun way for most children to learn to swim. The small group format is beneficial to our students because of the social interaction it allows, as well as the opportunities it provides for our students to learn from watching each other. Children do not always believe us when we tell them that they can do something. Simply put, we are grown-ups-- of course, we can accomplish the task. But when children see one of their peers try something new, they are often inspired and emboldened to make an attempt. Thus, we are strong believers in the power of peer demonstration. We also find that children enjoy the camaraderie of the small group format, which makes them look forward to attending their class and seeing their swim friends each week.
That said, we do recognize that some students benefit greatly from the extra attention provided in a private lesson. In an effort to provide a variety of options to better suit the needs of our customers, we are now offering private lessons. Please inquire at the front desk if you are interested.
