Adult Swim

The Start is as important as the Finish.

It’s never too late to learn a lifelong skill!

Why should every adult be a confident, competent swimmer?

Lifelong Health

Swimming is the only form of physical activity that you can truly do for your entire life! Swimming will keep you looking and feeling young even when your joints and bones aren’t.

Safety, for the whole family

If your child is ever in trouble in the water, you should have the confidence and the skills to know that you can help them without putting yourself in danger.

A new world of recreational activities

Have you ever wanted to go scuba diving? surfing? snorkelling? boating? Swimming in the ocean? Learning to Swim is the gateway to aquatic fun!

Families that swim together, stay together

Swimming with your children is one of the best parts of being a parent. If you know how to swim well, you can share all of the joy that water brings with your kids!

How does the program work?

The Safer Swimmer Standard

Our swim programs are all geared toward instilling lifelong swimming competence in our swimmers. Propel Swim Academy’s Safer Swimmer Standard was created with the help of the world’s leading experts in water safety and drowning prevention. Our Adult Learn To Swim Program’s goal is to certify everyone in the program for Tier 1 of the Safer Swimmer Standard. Our Adult Learn To Swim Program is not designed for competitive swimmers or triathletes. The goal of the program is to get every adult swimmer to a level of proficiency where they feel confident going to the pool by themselves for individual practice or with an adult swim group!

Our Adult Swim Program is divided up into 4 separate skill levels:

Level 1

This class is for swimmers with no swimming experience. If you have never been in a swim class before, and have some anxiety or fear around getting in the pool, this class is for you. Our expert instructors will gently guide you through the basics of water comfort.

You will discover your own buoyancy by learning to float on your front and back and will learn basic gliding and kicking techniques. In this class, swimmers progress at their own pace and receive lots of individual attention as they learn to love the water. This class has a maximum of 4 swimmers to 1 Instructor.

Level 2

This class is for swimmers who may be comfortable in the water but have no formal swimming experience. If you have never been in a swim class before, but enjoy being in the water and can float confidently on your front and back, this class is for you.

You will refine the most foundational skill in all of swimming, kicking! As you develop a strong, efficient leg kick on both your front and back you will learn the Body Roll Kick. Body Roll Kick is the first building block to learning Freestyle with side breathing and is a vital safety skill that will teach you how to take a breath without standing up or treading water! Swimmers will also learn the basics of Freestyle. This class has a maximum of 4 swimmers to 1 Instructor.

Level 3

This class is for swimmers who know how to effectively kick on their front and back, how to roll to their back to breathe while swimming, and are able to coordinate basic arm strokes and kicking in the Freestyle Stroke.

Upon completion of this level, swimmers will be able to confidently swim our “Rock n Roll Freestyle” stroke and Backstroke for at least 25 yards. This class has a maximum of 4 swimmers to 1 Instructor.

Level 4

This class is for swimmers who know how to swim Freestyle and Backstroke. Swimmers at this level will learn Freestyle with bilateral side breathing, full Backstroke swimming, and how to Tread water!

This is a perfect class for building your swimming foundation in our warm-water pools! This class has a maximum of 4 swimmers to 1 Instructor.

Price

Lessons are billed monthly at a rate of $40/lesson. This includes not only your weekly group lesson but a Practice Time Membership that allows you to visit the pool during designated hours to practice on your own!

Adult Swim Instructors

All of the Instructors in our Adult Swim Program are trained specifically to teach adults to swim. While the skills that adults and children learn in our programs may be technically similar, we know that adults learn differently than children do, and to teach them requires a specific skill set.

In addition to being trained intensively on the technical side of the skills they are teaching, our Adult Swim Instructors are hand-picked from our regular teaching staff because they are able to effectively communicate with adult swimmers and are able to adapt their teaching methods to cater to each individual swimmer that comes their way!

Great! How do I get started?

The first step is to fill out a short Class Level Finder form to determine the appropriate starting class level. After that, you’ll be ready to get started!

Please Note

  • Unlike our other programs, Adult Swim does not offer unlimited make-ups for missed classes. It is very disruptive to the flow and cohesiveness of a class to have swimmers popping in and out each week. Instead, we offer a free make-up session once every 2 months.
  • Children may not be left unaccompanied in the facility during Adult Swim Classes.
  • Extra practice time is available only to those swimmers who are currently enrolled in an Adult Swim Class.
