Not sure? 

 

Contact Coach Neal and talk to your child's doctor if you have questions about starting your child in swimming lessons. 

 

Structure:

  • Sailors practices are ten minutes long. 

  • Coach to Swimmer Ratio is 1:1.

  • Swimmers may choose to participate only once per week up to as many as six times per week. 

Plebes Skills:

  • We teach infants and toddlers to float in a relaxed face-up position; and to be able to recover to this position after rolling to their stomachs or after jumping or falling into the water.  Sailors that achieve balanced floating move on to propulsive movements starting with the Tadpole stroke.

What's next?

First Lesson by Philip Booth

Lie back, daughter, let your head

be tipped back in the cup of my hand. 

Gently, and I will hold you. 

Spread your arms wide, lie out on the stream

and look high at the gulls. 

 

A dead-man's float is face down. 

You will dive and swim soon enough

where this tidewater ebbs to the sea.

 

Daughter, believe me, when you tire

on the long thrash to your island,

lie up, and survive.

 

As you float now, where I held you and let go,

remember when fear cramps your heart what I told you: 

lie gently and wide to the light-year stars,

lie back, and the sea will hold you.
