Our Glider swim class in Mundelein, IL, provides a wonderful opportunity for children aged 4 to 12 to enhance their swimming skills. We offer three distinct levels in this swim class, accommodating everyone from absolute beginners to those nearing intermediate proficiency. This ensures that every child receives instruction that matches their skill level and development. Our classes focus on teaching children the benefits of swimming in a fun and relaxed environment to foster a life-long love of swimming! Serving children and families from Mundelein, Grayslake, Fox Lake, and the surroudning areas. Also check out our different swim class options to find a class that best suits your child’s current swimming skill set.
Each Glider swim class lasts 30 minutes and is limited to four students per class. This small class size allows for individualized attention, ensuring that each child gets the most out of their lesson. Beginners will work on foundational skills such as face submersion, floating on their backs, and breath control. As they progress, they will learn freestyle/front crawl and tackle longer distances, building their swimming abilities incrementally.
As children progress through the levels, they begin to work on more advanced techniques. Intermediate swimmers will focus on freestyle/front crawl over increasing distances. Our instructors use games, rewards, and a fun environment to make learning enjoyable. This approach helps students build skills, confidence, and a love for swimming.
Our swim class incorporates games and rewards to make learning enjoyable and engaging. By turning lessons into playful experiences, we keep children motivated and excited about swimming. This approach not only helps them improve their skills but also creates lasting memories in a positive environment.
