SwimAmerica
The World's Best Swimming
Lessons
SwimAmerica is in the position of
developing aspects of its program that will differentiate it from
the rest of the learn-to-swim programs. These items are:
SIMPLICITY
The fundamental elements of swimming are organized
into ten units known as "stations." Each station builds upon skills
learned at previous stations. The end result is a student who can
perform six unique styles of swimming. The entire progression can
be learned in one place at one time.
FLEXIBILITY
There is ongoing editing of the SwimAmerica
program employing feedback from local programs to National Level
coaches. Our coaches bring forth the best information on teaching
lessons in the United States and from around the
World.
GOAL-DRIVEN
Advancement criteria have been established which
provide the student with clear tests of their own abilities. Each
station serves to motivate the student to achieve beyond his own
immediate expectations and skills.
TECHNIQUE-ORIENTED
"Good swimming is good swimming." There is no
distinction made between "competitive" and "recreational"
technique. Proper techniques of swimming (breathing, body position,
movement of the limbs, and timing) have been established as a
result of decades of experience and observation. What works best
and what is enjoyable have been incorporated into the SwimAmerica
progressions.
COMPLETE AND DIVERSE
SwimAmerica is
designed for everybody, regardless of usage intentions. Our
three-tiered program (preschool, child and adult) offers specific
distinctions ("how to") for both individual and group applications.
The object is to prepare anyone who wishes to learn with the tools
to participate in and appreciate a wide variety of aquatic
acclivities which are:
QUALITY-CONTROLLED ~
GOAL-DRIVEN ~ TECHNIQUE-ORIENTED
