2024 SWIM SCHOOL PROGRAM
Here at Cross Gate swim school, we provide a wonderful swim lesson program for all ages and abilities. Our goals are water safety, building confidence in the water, having fun while learning new skills and progressing those skills by learning proper technique. Our trained instructors are creative, caring and eager to engage and motivate your family. We look forward to meeting you and helping you reach your swimming goals!
GROUP LESSONS
The group dynamic gives kids an environment where they can excel by watching and copying others; It also provides a small break between students who are working with the instructor. Classes have built in flexibility! Need to change a time, check with your instructor for availability in other time slots. We want to keep our schedule convenient and accommodating for busy families.
Most children require time and practice--especially beginners, it is recommended that parents sign up for at least 2 consecutive months (that’s about 8-16 lessons). Reserve your time slot for consistency, so children retain their knowledge and for parents’ scheduling convenience.
