Lifestyle Swim School February-March- 2010

Infants/Toddler and Tyke Schedule and Preschool and Elementary Schedule

 A.D. Henderson School at Florida Atlantic University (FAU) and Home/Community pools

 

Parents may select from either of the two  formats listed below for their child's classes.  The first format, the Optimal Track, follows the natural learning progression of this early age group (consistent exposure, practice, a little bit on a lot of days) and meets 4 times per week for 4 weeks.  The second format, the Extended Track, meets 2 times per week for 8 weeks and requires additional practice at home to provide adequate exposure and practice necessary for learning. Both tracks offer 15-16 classes  (several 15 due to holidays) within a session.  It is recommended that you try to attend at least 1/2 of the classes you enrolled for in your registered course. To be fair to everyone and to keep or prices affordable missed classes can not be carried over to the next session. Classes are subject to minimum and maximum enrollments. We plan for 12 students per class. Some classes may be combined.

Track II Extended Learning Track (check with Rob and Kathy for location and directions)

The Extended Learning Track is an option available to accommodate work and life schedules that preclude our recommended Optimal summer format. Please note that in especially the Water Adjustment and Basic Skills class, parents must exercise an extra dose of patience when only attending class twice a week. Major breakthroughs may not occur until between the 16th and 48th lesson, therefore, remember not to push or judge your child. Flow with your child and enjoy the lessons knowing that he or she will make their breakthrough when they are ready. Reinforcing at home, on non-class days, in a fun, positive manner can also enhance the optimal learning growth of your child. The more times per week your young swimmer attends class, the more dramatic his or her progress will ultimately be! Young children, especially fearful children, those not liking water on their face and those being introduced to water for the first time, need consistency and repetition as well as regular exposure to the pool and teachers. We strongly recommend reading our book, Learn to Swim and viewing our video/DVD Diaper Dolphins Volume I prior to and during Water Adjustment and Basic Skills and Learn to Swim and Diaper Dolphins Volume II prior to and during Safety Techniques I, II, Advanced Safety Techniques and Water Tykes.

Host a Lifestyle Swim School week-day class. What could be more convenient than walking out your back door to class. A most unique opportunity to share your heated pool with like minded, in tune, nurturing, "mindful parents" who connect with their children.

Your house, community or club pool.

Week-end classes will remain at the  Florida Atlantic University A.D. Henderson School....

 

Your pool-heated to at least 90 degrees, baby friendly neighbors, plenty of parking
2 days per week M/W or T/Th
We register and enroll a class of 7-8 students
Host's receives 1/2 price on first child

 

In the Fall/Winter the FAU swim team needs the main pool for training, they drop the temperature for the college swimmers, making it too chilly for our baby swimmers. We stop teaching at the Henderson Pool at NIGHT as it is too dark, but will remain at the Henderson pool on the week-ends. We will take a short break for the Christmas and New Years holidays.

For our week day classes,  if anyone has a heated home/club pool with friendly neighbors and plenty of parking please let Rob and Kathy know if you would be interested in hosting a Lifestyle Swim School class or two at your home or club. We would need the pool to be at least 90 degrees. While home pools are small it is amazing how well we can adapt to the new venue. We try to have up to 7 maybe 8 students in our home classes. Some of you may have a club pool that will allow in babies and non-members. (Note: many clubs and communities here are NOT family/baby friendly or will not allow in non-members, so please check and get permission first!).

Thanks so much,   Rob and Kathy.
