Grouper Lessons

Our Grouper classes are where we teach advanced racing techniques, and  transition our students away from 1:1 instruction. Groupers will teach your child how to swim with multiple other kids in their lane, how to pace off an interval clock, and how to receive instruction from out of the water. Grouper lessons can help accelerate your young swimmer’s onramp to competitive swimming. Primary Grouper skills include endurance work, flip turns and open turns, legal butterfly and breaststroke, as well as racing dives. 
Students who graduate from Grouper Level II will be able to skip the Yellow and Blue group when moving up to competitive swim team at AAAA North East.

Our Walker Pool location is ideal for all ages. This is a great location for beginners, though our bread and butter is on teaching post-survival lessons to students that are interested in joining a swim team. The atmosphere here reflects the swim team spirit. 

Ages: 5 – 11 ***  (12+ can enroll in Adult Private classes)
