Class Levels and Descriptions
Sheridan Swim Team has Learn-To-Swim Classes for all levels of swimmer! Lessons are open to the public at $180.00 per session (12 classes). Each level of instruction builds upon previous skills learned within our program. Skills in swimming are acquired with experience and are not age specific. The more appropriately your child is placed, the better we can cater their lessons to their needs.
On the first day of a session, we will evaluate and place similarly skilled swimmers together. Our first priority is helping your child progress in their skills, no matter where they may begin with our program.
Our Goal is to provide the community with a quality learn-to-swim program that not only teaches water safety and confidence (Levels 1-4), but also introduces them to competitive swimming (Levels 5-8).
Below are descriptions of each class level. When registering for classes please be sure to include your child's past experience/skill level. If you are unsure of what level to register for, please email Rachel Cawthon at [email protected].com.
