SwimSkill Lesson Program

                                       Growing strong swimmers for life!

 

What is the SwimSkill Lesson Program?

  • 4 level swim lesson program developed & administered by Kamloops Classic Swimming - Ages 5-12.

  • This program is designed to bridge the gap between early swim lessons and competitive swimming. Your child will receive an enriched program of stroke development and endurance taught by trained SwimSkill and Water Safety Instructors.

    We are invested in your child progressing; our hope is, they will love swimming so much they will choose to continue into our other competitive and recreational program to become swimmers for life! 

What do our classes look like?

  • 40-minute lessons twice a week for 8 weeks!
  • A free Mini-Meet at the end of the lessons to let your swimmer show off every thing they have learned!
  • Classes focus on the four competitive strokes & fun skills like tumble turns and streamlining
  • One instructor for 6-8 swimmers
