- Children 10-13 years of age must demonstrate their ability to safely use the pool/s, unaccompanied by their parent, by passing the lifeguard administered test.

Swim Lessons and Programs
SwimAmerica
Swim Lessons for children ages 3 to 13
SwimAmerica was developed by a committee of the American Swim Coaches Association (ASCA) to provide the finest learn-to-swim progression available. Our Program Director and coaching staff have been professionally accredited to offer your child the very best in teaching and training. SwimAmerica is based on skills acquisition and can best be described as a “goal-driven” and “technique-oriented” program.
Children are taught in small groups at several ability levels, and there are well-defined skills that represent “graduation points” to the next station in the system. Emphasis is given to learning proper stroke techniques from the very beginning of a child’s swim experience. SwimAmerica is available for members and non-members, ages 3 to 13.

Lakeshore Whitecaps
Swimmers who have passed Station 8 in SwimAmerica are eligible to join our year-round USA-Swimming team, the Lakeshore Whitecaps. Newly formed in November of 2009, the mission statement for this competitive team is as follows: It is the mission of the Lakeshore Whitecaps to serve as the continuation of our established SwimAmerica program. We will continue the teaching of proper competitive swimming techniques while promoting the values of sportsmanship, respect, individual achievement and personal responsibility in order to produce well rounded individuals of the highest moral character in and out of the pool. The emphasis of the swim team workouts will be technique first, then endurance.

AquaShrimps
This gentle water adaptation class is for children 9 months to 3 years. Kids work through the beginning skills of swimming in the loving arms of their parent. The class teaches the same skills that we introduce to our Level One swimmers in the SwimAmerica group lesson program. There will be lots of repetition because that’s how children learn best. We use songs, rhymes and games to teach these skills.
