Swim Lessons

Swim Lessons

We teach all private lessons - students are one on one with their dedicated coach. Each lesson is customized to the individual students goals and abilities. Here at OTA Scuba & Swim we believe everyone should learn to swim so our classes are open to 6 months old to 106 year olds! It's never too early or too late to learn life saving water safety skills so you can feel confident in the water. 

Our coaches work with many special needs children and adults. We customize the classes to the individual to maximize learning in a fun and safe environment. 

Based on age and experience you or your child will fall into one of the below swim categories. 

6 months-2 years old 

Survival Swim Lessons 

The program we teach is 4 times a week for the first 4 weeks and 3 times a week for the following 4 weeks and moving down to 2 times a week for the next 4 weeks. During the program we will teach your child survival swim-float skills.

Our goal is that they could independently get into their back-float position from any entrance into the water. The repetition of classes is very important in your child’s development and to help create the conditioned response that could save their lives. 

You can also sign up for just one session or even just one class, but for the best results we recommend that you complete at least two 4 week sessions.

Once the 8-12 weeks are complete, The Coach will discuss the best plan for moving forward and progressing to maintenance lessons or continuing with 2 or 3 times a week until the skills are perfected. 

Every student progresses at their own pace so every lesson is private and customized to your child’s personal skill development.

Once the student masters their survival skills we offer maintenance lessons to maintain all the current skills and to move forward towards stroke development. 

Maintenance lessons are generally one or two times a week. When the child is ready for stroke development, we enroll the student in 20 minute private swim lessons with a new swim coach that can take them to the next level.  

The class cost is $35 per session

There is a $49 annual family registration fee that will be charged on your first bill.  

Swim Lessons for Kids

Starting at 2 -17 years old

Our weekly 20-minute class is for swimmers from 2 or 3 old to 17 years old. The goal of this class is to cultivate our students' interests in swimming as well as promoting water safety.

Our structured curriculum has detailed instructions and skills required for each level. We want our swimmers to continue to progress through hard work, so they can be in and around the water confidently.

The Learn-to-Swim program focuses on building skills one step at a time. By giving them the opportunity to master one element before moving on to the next, our kids' swim classes make it easy to build confidence in the water.

During their swim lessons, children will spend time working on the following six skills:

• Skill Set 1: Introduction to Water Skills: Students will learn how to feel comfortable in the water and safely enjoy it.
• Skill Set 2: Fundamentals of Aquatic Skills: Children will learn basic swimming skills.
• Skill Set 3: Stroke Development: Additional guided practice will help students improve their skills.
• Skill Set 4: Stroke Improvement: Kids will gain confidence during swim lessons, improve their stroke and gain additional aquatic skills.
• Skill Set 5: Stroke Refinement: Guidance allows kids to refine their strokes and become more efficient swimmers.
• Skill Set 6: Swimming and Skill Proficiency: Students will learn to swim with ease and efficiency, and gain the ability to swim smoothly over greater distances. Swimmers will also have the option to participate in more advanced courses.

Non-refundable annual pro-rated registration fee of up to $49 per family.
