PARENT / TOT

Our Parent Tot classes are designed for children 4 to 36 months. The class is 30 minutes in length and has a 6:1 student to teacher ratio. This fun and foundational time for parents and babies will cover: water exploration, breath control, water movement and safety skills. The use of songs and games help the child feel safe while discovering the foundations of swimming and our warm (92 degree) water makes a wonderful environment for great swimming beginnings!

At Sea Otter Swim Lessons we believe that infant swimming increases water comfort and provides a strong foundation for safety skills and stroke technique.

3 Years & Younger: Must wear 2 diapers, one disposable swim diaper and one non-disposable cloth diaper.

ADULT

Whether you are 19 or 90 we have instruction that's just right for you.  Many adults have thought that it's too late... Not True!  You can learn to enjoy and be mobile in the water at any age, no matter your background or fears. We can help! Our adult lessons are available in private, semi-private and seasonally in group classes. Please call our office for details!

Learn to Swim

 This class is designed to introduce the inexperienced or fearful adult to the water.  The objective of this course is to help adults become more comfortable in the water and enjoy the water safely.  Students will learn breath control, relaxation, floating and swimming movement in the shallow and deep water. As they build confidence, students will learn proper kicking and body position for front and back swimming.  Freestyle, Back Crawl, Elementary Backstroke, and basic safety skills will be refined as students become more comfortable in the pool.

Adult Swim Refinement Class

 This class is designed for the more experienced swimmer.  Objectives in the course will be to work on proper timing, technique and stroke refinement in order to achieve more ease, efficiency, power and endurance.  Students will focus on refining their basic strokes so that they may be able to swim over longer distances. Students will work on more advanced diving progressions, turns at the wall, and safety skills. 

ADAPTIVE AQUATICS

Sea Otter Swim Lessons is introducing an Adaptive Swim Program.  We offer high quality swim lessons in a safe, comfortable environment to all individuals including those with special needs.   Our instructors are trained to work with each swimmer and their caregivers to develop a personalized plan so that they may make necessary adaptations or modifications to lessons.   Our goals are to help each swimmer push past their physical, cognitive or neurological challenges to be successful in learning to swim, learning water safety, developing confidence, increasing fitness and having fun!  The program includes one on one instruction with a specially trained instructor, an initial out of water assessment and an individualized lesson plan designed to fit each swimmer’s personal goals and needs. Learning to swim can be not only a life-saving skill but a lifelong recreational activity, promoting a healthier, safer, more enjoyable future.  Swimming is for Life!

Our Adaptive classes are offered in 20 minute or 30 minute private lessons. Once the swimmer has been in private lessons for at least one session and upon instructor discretion, they may move to a 30 minute semi-private lesson if desired or they may remain in their private lesson. When speaking to the office please make sure to mention the adaptive program to ensure you are matched with one of our specially trained instructors.
