Our Services at The Swim Co.
At The Swim Co., we are dedicated to equipping children with essential water survival skills through structured, proven training programs. Our expert-led instruction ensures that even the youngest swimmers develop confidence, competency, and the ability to respond in real-life water situations.
What We Offer
Infant Float Program (4 Weeks – Non-Walkers)
Designed specifically for infants who are not yet walking, this four-week program teaches babies how to instinctively roll onto their backs and maintain a float position. This crucial early intervention helps infants breathe and stay safe in the water, building the foundational survival skills they need.
Swim Float Swim Program (6 Weeks – Walkers & Up)
For children who are already walking, this six-week program focuses on self-rescue skills. Participants learn how to swim a short distance, roll onto their backs to rest and breathe, then flip back over and continue swimming to safety. These techniques are vital for drowning prevention and long-term water confidence.
Annual Maintenance & Refresher Classes
Children grow and develop quickly, which is why we offer annual refresher courses to reinforce survival swim skills. These tune-up sessions ensure that children maintain their abilities, boost confidence, and adjust their techniques as their bodies and coordination evolve. Recommended until ages 5-6, these refresher courses help keep young swimmers prepared.
