Swimming Lessons for Kids in Cameron Park

One of the most common questions we get here at Steve Wallen Swim School is, “How old does my child have to be before he or she can start swim lessons?”  From our experience, we firmly believe it is never too early to start getting your child used to the water. We start swimming lessons as early as 5 months of age because early introduction to the water helps babies gain familiarity with the water that can help develop many other important mental and physical skills. The experiences of infants aids in the development of many other mental, physical and social skills, and the feeling of water can be very soothing to them, and help set the foundation for a lifetime of safe and happy swimming.  Swimming with a parent’s assistance is a great way for your little one to stretch his or her limbs, work their developing muscles, and develop social skills with parents, instructors and students.

Swimming for babies also helps them adjust to life outside of the womb.  Keep in mind that your baby has spent the first 9 months of his or her life in an aqueous environment and generally loves the feel of water. At an early age, infant swimmers have an innate relationship with the water, and can in many cases be much more relaxed in the water compared to a student introduced at an older age. Infant swimmers typically show more relaxed swimming movements and skills at early ages of development. Students who are introduced to the water at an older age are more accustomed to being out of the water, and generally take more time and practice to achieve swimming success.

When it comes to swimming classes for older kids, we make lessons fun, exciting, and beneficial.  Whether you want your child to be able to take home a first place ribbon at a swim meet, become a lifeguard as a summer job, or just be able to enjoy being water-safe, our swimming lessons at Steve Wallen Swim School can help you achieve your goals.

Adult Swimming Lessons in Cameron Park

You can never be too old to take swimming lessons!  We offer swimming lessons for adults, conveniently scheduled in the morning, during the day, in the evenings, and on the weekends to accommodate your busy schedule.  Whether you are looking to refresh some old skills, get more comfortable in the pool, or learn to swim for the very first time, we will design our program to meet your individual needs.

Many times, adults don’t know how to swim because they simply never had the opportunity to learn during their childhood, and as they got older, they believed they were too old to start.  Don’t let your age make you think that you can’t learn a new skill!  Swimming is a great sport, especially for adults, because it provides the opportunity for a great workout without causing any strain on your joints.

Here at Steve Wallen Swim School, we have several options for adult swimming lessons in Cameron Park.  Contact us to reserve a spot in one of our popular adult swimming classes, or arrange for private adult swimming lessons.

Private Swimming Lessons in Cameron Park

While many of our swimming lessons here at Steve Wallen Swim School are semi-private swimming lessons, we also offer private swimming lessons for students who want more personalized attention.  If you are preparing for a swim competition and need a little more work on a certain skill from a semi-private or group swimming lesson, or just prefer to work one-on-one, we can design a program to best accommodate your requests.  You can set up private swimming lessons at a set time each week, or you can call us for a one-time drop-in swimming lesson. We also offer a free trial class for new customers if you are looking to try us out and see what sets us apart from our competition!

Private swimming lessons do cost a little more than semi-private or group swimming lessons, but the benefits of the one-on-one instruction typically far outweigh the cost. The decision of which class to enroll in is primarily based on the student, and what type of environment works best for them individually. Some students prefer to have another student in the same class to work with and learn from, while some students do better in a private swimming lesson with just them and the instructor. Generally, if you are looking to maximize results and get the most out of your lessons, the private swimming lessons are the way to go. Students with busier schedules that cannot commit to classes 2 days/week will usually schedule private swimming classes 1 day/week, to ensure they get the most out of each class.  Contact us today to discuss what programs we have to offer and what type of program would be best suited for you or your child.

Swimming is an important life skill.  If you cannot swim, you put yourself at enormous risk. You never know when an accident may occur, and you will need the skill of swimming to save yours or someone else’s life. More than just being a survival skill, swimming is a great form of exercise as well that can lead to a lifetime of fun. Swimming is great for strengthening your joints, muscles, and ligaments, while at the same time, keeping them healthy, as it is a low impact exercise. In fact, the buoyancy of the water makes it easier for people who otherwise have a difficult time exercising. These students can use the assistance of the water and low gravity to increase range of motion and other strengthening movements for exercise.

Here at Steve Wallen Swim School, we offer swimming lessons for all skill levels of students. From the tiniest of infants to the most mature adults, we have a program to suit your needs. It’s never too early to start swimming, nor is it ever too late.  Give us a call today to schedule your swimming lessons in Cameron Park with Steve Wallen Swim School. You’ll be glad you did!
