Swim America (swim lessons for children 3 & up) SwimAmerica is a national program created by ASCA, the American Swim Coaches Association. This program has been around for 10 years and is often hailed as the most comprehensive learn-to-swim program ever created. There are 10 stations (levels) within the program. Students begin with blowing bubbles and finish with the completion of a 300IM. We teach a natural progression of the strokes through drills emphasizing proper technique and efficiency. Safety, instruction/fitness, and fun are the three goals we strive for in our lessons. Classes are limited to 4 swimmers.

WWW - Water Warrior Workout (ages 18 and up) CALLING ALL WATER WARRIORS!
Think aquatics are only for kids, water aerobics, and lap swimmers? Think again! Try our Water Warrior Workout and see how powerful the water can be as a training modality. WWW is a little cardio, strength, kickboxing, circuit, interval, and core work all using the resistance of the water. Be prepared to get worked! Bring a water bottle because you’ve never sweated this much in the water! You do not need to know how to ‘swim’ to take WWW, but you do need to feel comfortable in and under the water, as well as how to tread water. Wear a swim suit, or add clothes to increase the intensity, but you will get wet so bring goggles and a swim cap if you choose.
