AAC SWIM LESSONS AAC is happy to provide your child with a quality swimming experience with lessons that fit your child’s needs! Children must have comparable skills from another swim program or have completed a swim evaluation with an instructor or coach here at AAC in order to be enrolled in a higher level class. Please remember that everyone progresses at different speeds and all participants will need to pass a “pre-test” on the first day of class or have completed a swim evaluation prior to registration. At that time, the instructor may recommend another class better suited for your child. Swim safe with us this summer! We will have safety protocols in place to keep your children safe. All of our instructors and staff will have regular wellness checks. Instructors will maintain social distance from children where applicable but will assist swimmers as needed for a safe swimming experience. We require a minimum of 3 children in order to hold a group lesson.

students who learn better with individual attention, including anxious first-time swimmers, kids with special needs, adults who have put off learning to swim, and competitive swimmers who would benefit from targeted training on specific skill sets. Private lessons are also a great fit for former runners and other athletes interested in lower-impact exercise options. Semi-Private lessons are available for all skill levels and are a great option for siblings or friends to be in the same class. If you’d like to make your private lesson a semi-private, please coordinate with the individual that you want to share a lesson with (we do not pair individuals for semi-private lessons). Classes are offered by all swim instructors & coaches on an ongoing basis throughout the summer. Members are encouraged to reach out to them directly but feel free to contact the Aquatics Director at jlee@aac1.org for assistance securing an instructor. All lessons are subject to a 24 –hour cancellation policy and all lessons are billed for a 30-minute time frame. All private lessons are contingent on possible COVID-19 restrictions. Comp l imentary Swimmer Assessment If you are unsure about which level to place your child in for swim lessons, please contact Jonathan Lee at jlee@ aac1.org to schedule a complimentary 15-minute swim assessment to get start- ed. We will evaluate your child’s skills and determine their starting swim level.

MOM & TOT 6 MONTHS – 2 YEARS (1:6 RATIO) Accompanied in the water by a parent, this class is designed for the “new to the water” child. Infants and toddlers learn to be comfortable in the water and develop swim readiness skills through fun and confidence-building experiences, while parents learn about water safety, drowning prevention, and the importance of supervision. This group is only parent-child lessons for ages 6 months to 2 years. A minimum of three participants are needed to hold class. Children are required to wear an AAC approved swim diaper. L eve l 1 2-3 YEARS (1:5 RATIO) This class is designed to help young swimmers learn personal water safety and achieve basic swimming competency independent of parents.

A minimum of three participants are needed to hold class. Children are required to wear an AAC approved swim diaper. L eve l 2 3-4 YEARS (1:5 RATIO) This class is designed to help young swimmers gain mastery over skills taught in Level 1. Previous swim lesson experience is required for this class.

Pre - J un i or Barracuda Swim 5-8 YEARS (1:8 RATIO) The Pre-Jr. Barracuda Swim class was created to bridge the gap between our Learn to Swim Program, and the traditional swim team environment. This class promotes a more technique based approach alongside endurance building. Pre-Jr Barracuda Swim has a max of 8 students, providing for more individual attention than the traditional swim team environment which can have 30 or more students in a level taught by one coach. AAC believes swimming should be fun, and the Pre-Jr Barracuda Swim program provides a space for our students to expand upon their skills, without the stress or commitment of a traditional swim team. We strongly recommend that students bring goggles and swim caps for this class.

Private lessons are 30 minutes long and pair one swimmer with one instructor. Semi-private lessons also last 30 minutes, but two swimmers can join the same lesson, which makes these lessons a wonderful fit for siblings or friends who want to swim together. Private lessons are available for all skill levels and are a great option for those looking to progress or refine skills quickly. They help adults and kids alike increase their skills and comfort in the water. They’re ideal for
