Dolphin Swim School

Dolphin Swim School at acac Fitness & Wellness offers a structured, curriculum-focused approach to aquatic learning for novice swimmers ages 3 and up. Instructors trained in the Starfish Aquatic International Swim School curriculum focus on creating safer swimmers by developing fundamental swim and safety skills. The program includes 8 weekly 30-minute classes in a child-centered environment with small groups of 3-6 participants.

Dolphin Swim School is ideal for novice swimmers ages 3 and older who are ready for structured group instruction. It works well for children who have basic water comfort or have completed parent-supported classes like Dolphin Babies and are ready to progress independently.

Dolphin Swim School uses the Starfish Aquatic International curriculum, a comprehensive approach to teaching swimming that emphasizes water safety alongside skill development. This internationally recognized program breaks down swimming into progressive stages, ensuring children build confidence and competence at their own pace.

The child-centered methodology focuses on creating safer swimmers rather than just teaching strokes. Instructors guide students through foundational skills including water comfort, floating, basic propulsion, and breathing techniques in a supportive, encouraging environment.

With class sizes limited to 3-6 participants, Dolphin Swim School provides an optimal learning environment. This ratio allows instructors to give personalized feedback while still fostering peer learning and social interaction among young swimmers.

Small groups also enhance safety in the aquatic environment, ensuring each child receives adequate supervision and support during their 30-minute session. The weekly schedule allows for consistent practice and skill reinforcement between sessions.
