I•Can•Swim Curriculum
Preschool (3-6 yrs.) Children enter the curriculum at their present skill level. Those who have never taken lessons and have little to no skills will start at the very beginning. If they can float independently or have already been working on strokes, they will build on those skills.
Some of the skills are: water adjustment, face in, submerge head, front/back floats with kick, face-in dog paddle, safety and self rescue skills, Freestyle, Backstroke, Breaststroke, Butterfly, rhythmic breathing, treading water and TONS of FUN!
Parent or supervising adult remains on the deck indirectly supervising their child during the entire lesson.
School Age (Grades 1-12)
Beginners learn independent front/back floating, develop strong propulsive kicks as well as safety and self-rescue skills. When those skills are mastered the Freestyle, Backstroke, Elementary Backstroke, Breaststroke, Butterfly and Sidestroke are taught.
Our goal is to impart a lifetime of joy in the water with skills that can save their life, prepare them for water sports, and have skills they can fall back on for fitness when they are older. We keep it fun, challenging, and rewarding for the children.
Parenting Water Babies (2 yrs.)

2 year olds are accompanied by an adult in this fun, water play class that focuses on safety, comfort, confidence building, breath holding, floating and propulsion skills. We teach you how to teach your child while deepening your parent-child bond.
Adult Lessons
Adults and older teenagers come to the program with their own goals. Overcoming fear, self-rescue, stroke skills, and fitness swimming are some of the learning expectations an adult might come to the program with. All adult lessons are tailored to their individual goals.
