Q & A
What is SKILL BUILDERS™?
SKILL BUILDERS™ is designed to support and advance the skills learned in a survival program. Length, Strength, and precision is the key to this program. Here you will see little swims get longer in distance, the strength and power of kicks and arms pulls will increase, and the execution of rolling between a float and a swim and back again will become smooth, seamless,and precise.
SKILL BUILDERS™ is also focused on FUN. Here we will work through any fear or resistance. We will use goggles, dive toys, and fun games to enhance swim time and bring your child to a full sense of confidence in the water, while maintaining the integrity of their respect for the water and their ability to maintain and use their survival skills.
Underwater diving, mini obstacles, real time problem solving and strokes will all be introduced in this program!
Maintenance vs. Refresher; What’s the difference?
Maintenance lessons are recommended at a minimum of once per month and will help your child maintain the skills learned from the survival swim program. Maintenance lessons are drop-in only. You may schedule a maximum of two maintenance lessons per month. For ongoing lessons, please book Skill Builders™.
Refresher lessons are booked for 1-2 weeks at a time and your child will attend lessons 4 days per week. These lessons are used for infants that learned to float, but not swim and are now walking and ready to swim. Refreshers are also designed to help students who have gone more than 3 months without a maintenance lesson to regain their skills.
