Our Glider swim class in Okemos, MI, is perfect for children between 4 and 12 years old. This swim class provides three levels of instruction to meet the needs of various skill levels, from beginners to intermediate swimmers.
Ready to dive in? Book a swim class quickly and easily online today! 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 allows for up to four children per session. Beginners focus on building water confidence and safety skills, including breath control and floating. Intermediate students will work on their freestyle/front crawl technique and endurance. Our beginner swim lessons focus on building confidence and water safety skills, such as putting their face in the water, submerging, holding their breath, rolling over, and back floating. This allows beginner swimmers to build a baseline set of skills leading to a strong foundation.
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 emphasizes a fun, engaging environment with the use of games and rewards. This approach ensures that kids are motivated and excited to improve their swimming skills.
