Swim America (swim lessons for children 3 & up) SwimAmerica is a national program created by ASCA, the American Swim Coaches Association. This program has been around for 10 years and is often hailed as the most comprehensive learn-to-swim program ever created. There are 10 stations (levels) within the program. Students begin with blowing bubbles and finish with the completion of a 300IM. We teach a natural progression of the strokes through drills emphasizing proper technique and efficiency. Safety, instruction/fitness, and fun are the three goals we strive for in our lessons. Classes are limited to 4 swimmers.
