Glider Swim Lessons for Kids in Urbandale, IA

Beginner Swimming Classes for Kids Age Range: 4-12 Years Old in Urbandale, Des Moines, West Des Moines, and Surrounding Areas

Our swim class is designed for children between the ages of 4 and 12 in Urbandale, Des Moines, West Des Moines, and the surrounding areas. This program includes three different levels to cater to every child’s needs and abilities.

Tailored Swim Lessons for All Skill Levels (No Experience Needed) 

Whether your child is just starting or has some swimming experience, our swim class provides tailored lessons that match their skill level and comfort. Our experienced instructors ensure that every child progresses at their own pace, building confidence and swimming skills in a supportive environment.

Personalized Attention in Small Classes 

Each swim class is 30 minutes long with a maximum of four children per class, guaranteeing personalized attention for each swimmer. Beginner swim lessons focus on essential water safety skills and basic swimming techniques such as putting their face in the water, submerging their body, holding their breath, rolling over, and back floating. As children advance, they work on freestyle/front crawl and increase their swimming distance, making steady progress towards intermediate levels.

Fun and Engaging Learning Environment 

At our Urbandale swim school, we believe in making learning fun through games, rewards, and an engaging environment. This approach not only helps children learn effectively but also creates lasting memories.
