Glider Swim Class for Kids in Lake Ridge, VA, and the Surrounding Areas

Beginner Swim Class for 4-Year-Olds to 12-Year-Olds Living in Lake Ridge, Woodbridge, Prince William County, and the Surrounding Areas

Our Glider swim class is designed for Lake Ridge, VA children between the ages of 4 and 12 and include three different levels.

Swim Lessons for 3 Different Levels from Beginner (No Experience) to Intermediate Students

Whether your child has no experience or is capable of swimming solo without assistance, we offer swim lessons that will fit their needs and comfort level.

Each Glider kids’ swim class is 30 minutes long and has a four-child limit, which means your little swimmer will get ample attention while in the water. Beginner swim lessons help swimmers gain confidence and water safety skills. Swimmers will learn to swim by acquiring foundational skills like putting their face in the water, submerging their body, holding their breath, rolling over, back floating, and more. As they near the intermediate level, they will begin to work on their freestyle/front crawl over increasing distances. By building skills through games, rewards, and a fun environment, every student can enjoy the learning experience and make memories along the way.
