We have a significantly different learn to swim program.
Our program was designed by a Karen King, former National Director of SwimAmerica, she took the outstanding SwimAmerica program and “kicked up a notch” with fun lessons plans designed for child and babies learning style. Karen, knows what she is doing with 33 years of experience, she has spoken worldwide on the subject of drown prevention and best teaching techniques,
We are not a backyard operation. Water Safer Children are our mission. We are very different we focus first on safety and teach swimming. Our teachers understand child development and work with children using proven techniques.
Learning to swim well isn’t easy for a child. Learning to swim well is a job for most children. It is not easy. If a swimmer is splashing and pounding at the water in an effort to move forward he is inefficient and therefore unsafe if he or she tries to swim more than a few feet. You’ll never see a struggling swimmer at United States Swim Academy they swim smooth efficient strokes effortlessly. You child is taught proper body and head position, how to kick with straight efficient small kicks and smooth purposeful arm strokes.
Most children will never learn to swim the way yours will at USSA. Only 20% of all children in the USA swim well enough to save their lives in a water emergency. Start early children learn best before seven years old. There is a window of readiness to learn to swim prior to seven. The readiness window begins to close after seven Why? Young children learn easily how to swim because they adapt well to the prone position having spent most of their young lives on the prone sleeping crawling and rolling on the floor. |
