School- Age Swim
ABK Swim curriculum has been adapted from years of staff teaching experience and from other independent swim schools nationwide. Combining up-to-date instruction style and techniques and using the latest swim aids on the market assists your child in learning at a faster pace.
New swimmers ages 5 years and older will start by enrolling in a Shark 1 class. If your child has swim lesson experience, please review the skill levels closely and enroll them in the appropriate class. If the instructor feels a child has been enrolled in a class not appropriate for their swimming level, they will let the parent know which class type in which to transfer their child, provided there is space available. If there is not, the child can be placed on the waiting list. Parents are able to complete enrollments, transfers or waiting list additions online through the parent portal.
