Lifestyle Swim School End of February-March-April 2012

Infants/Toddler and Tyke Schedule and Preschool

 

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 up to 15 or 16 classes  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 our 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.

 

Refer to blue tabs at top this of page for complete swim school information, policies, directions, parking, how to register, missed classes, etc....

 

 

We will continue to teach our infant/toddler swim classes this winter in Boca Raton. Beginning in October, our week-day classes make our annual move from the FAU main pool. We need to make room for the FAU varsity swim team. The college swimmers require cooler water for proper training, making it a bit too chilly for our baby swimmers.  Every year in the fall and "winter" we have been most fortunate to hold our classes hosted by you, our current swim school families at your heated home, club and community pools.

Host a Lifestyle Swim School week-day class!! Help keep the week-day class offering a wonderful option. 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.

Host a class at your heated home, community or club pool.

We would also consider teaching early afternoon classes if this would make it more advantageous for our host to offer their pool.

Week-end classes will continue as usual through-out the fall and winter at the heated Florida Atlantic University A.D. Henderson School....

 

Beginning in October for week day classes
Your pool-heated to at least 90 degrees, baby friendly neighbors, plenty of parking
2 days per week M/W or T/Th   (if you have the time... 4 X per week would amazing)
We register and enroll a class of 7-8 students
Host receives $50 discount on class fee on their first child
We would also consider teaching early afternoon classes if this would make it more advantageous for our host to offer their pool.

 

 

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!). In the cooler  months we sell swim caps and baby wet suits so we can swim year a round in comfort. We will take a break over Christmas and New Years and Jaunuary's cooler weather.

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! All young children, but especially fearful children, those not liking water on their face, those being introduced to water for the first time and , or those who have had a previous bad lesson or water experience 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.
