HAC Swim Academy

Our quality swimming instruction is geared towards individual needs and is designed to increase the student’s endurance and to improve strokes while working on basic skills. Class levels range from no water experience to stroke development and fitness swimming.

Little Seahorses (Ages 6-36 months): Parents and infants will learn methods of aquatics orientation and water exploration. Each class will consist of safety skills, swimming skills, singing songs and playing with toys in the water.

Tadpoles (Ages 3 years): Toddlers will learn methods of aquatics orientation and water exploration. Each class will consist of safety skills, swimming skills, singing songs, and playing with toys in the water. We will also focus on independence and boundaries in the water.

Froggie (Ages 4-5 years): Designed for beginner swimmers who are comfortable in the water. Water orientation, safety skills and the fundamentals of swimming will be taught in each class. Children will be introduced to floating, gliding, bubble blowing, kicking, paddling and much more.

Squid (Ages 6-7 years): Designed for children who have had some swimming experience and who are not afraid of the water. We will introduce rhythmic breathing, underwater skills, front crawl, backstroke, jumping and will continue to teach safety skills.

Octopus (Ages 8-9 years): We will continue to work on proper techniques for front crawl, backstroke and elementary backstroke. We will introduce rotary breathing, diving, sidestroke and breaststroke.

Pirhana (Ages 10-12 years): Pre-requisite: Swim 25 yards any stroke and tread water for one minute. We will continue to work on stroke mechanics, refining each stroke, introduce butterfly and open turns. The students will swim longer distances during each class to build endurance.

Private Swim Lessons (All ages): Our compassionate and experienced instructors can help you meet the goals you wish to attain in a one-on-one setting. This program is great for older children who have little to no formal swim instruction, for any person who is uncomfortable around the water, or even for those wishing to get a jump-start on the summer swim team season or triathlon season. We also offer a semi-private option for two students of similar skill.
