SwimRVA’s Kids Swim Lessons

The SwimRVA Bell of Success

At SwimRVA, our comprehensive swimming curriculum involves more than just teaching kids how to swim.

• Station-based learning: Our kids swim lessons are for ages 6 to 12. Students follow a curriculum that involves seven stations to help them learn swimming fundamentals, create positive success by building on techniques they already know, and ultimately graduate with the ability to swim all four competitive strokes. Kids will learn and grow at their own pace, mastering specific skills through each station with the help of their coaches. As they improve their skills, kids will earn fun, positive reinforcements like stickers and certificates to show them they’re doing great during the lessons.
• The SwimRVA Bell of Success: Learning how to swim is a significant achievement that deserves recognition, which is why we have the SwimRVA Bell of Success. Each time a student passes a station, they ring the Bell of Success and receive a huge cheer from instructors, peers and parents.
• Swimming as a source of self-esteem: Kids learning to swim during their school years is beneficial because they are still in the pivotal phase of their life when it’s easier to grasp swimming techniques without letting fear get in the way. Besides learning and practicing water safety skills, swimming helps kids exercise, build confidence and reduce stress.

Why We’re Different

• Our station-based learning breaks down our curriculum into individual skill sets, making it easier to track and monitor each swimmer’s learning.
• Once your child masters a technique, they immediately move on to the next station. This means students can continue building their skills right away, even in just one class.
• At SwimRVA, we teach important core values in addition to practical techniques to help kids gain a better understanding of their own self-confidence.
• Every time your child passes a station, they get to ring the SwimRVA Bell of Success and receive praise for positive reinforcement.
• The first month of lessons is pro-rated, and we never charge starting fees or cancellation fees. Plus, there’s no contracts.
