SUMMER SWIM SQUAD IN PSL

Early Bird Special through May 10

!

Swim Squad coaches teach kids and adults to swim or swim better
and to swim longer and faster, with less effort. Through our proven swim system of utilizing the breath, brain and body, our swimmers enjoy moving through the water like never before. Our unique system teaches greater body awareness and coordination, builds strong, supple muscles and flexible joints, strengthens your heart and lungs and promotes relaxation, stress relief and a great night’s sleep.

Youth Program

Swimmers In the youth program learn or improve all four competitive swim strokes in only sixteen nights. High school swimmers can prepare for their fall season, and athletes from any sport can use our swim program as cross training.Many athletes have done this over the years. At Jensen Beach, we had a swimmer named Jesse who swam with mainly to prepare for his primary sport which was wrestling. In the process he became a terrific swimmer! Some kids go on to USA Swimming and others come back to us year after year - to swim, to volunteer, and sometimes to become paid assistant coaches.All of our coaches have been through our program as swimmers when they were younger and they all know the method they’ve been trained in that we continue to use, with enhancements each year. The youth program includes two groups-beginning and advanced competitive swimmers.

Our Beginners (1K, for kids) must have completed kindergarden and able to swim one lap (25 yards) without stress. That is the length of Ravenswood Pool. They don’t have to look pretty,  that’s our job! We know little kids, and we know that they tend to get distracted or go underwater if we do much talking when kids are in the pool.To give them the best possible instruction, we run the Beginner group this way-In the fifteen minutes before we get in the water, Coach Amanda and her youth coaching assistants teach the kids brain and coordination exercises that make it easier for them to focus.In fact, these exercises are helpful for working on other challenging tasks including homework. We teach or review the skill and have swimmers go through the motions on land. We find that they learn complex skills quickly when we do it this way, which only makes the lessons more enjoyable for them.
 

Adult Program

For adults, we offer a Beginners class for adults who cannot swim at all, or cannot swim a lap without stress. Approximately half of the adults in America can not swim 25 yards to save their lives. We are out to change this dangerous statistic.

Adults come to us to swim or swim better. Some are triathletes and some are mere mortals! A few are former competitive swimmers but most are not. They discover that our program serves as a refresher class or provides the instruction and coaching they never had. At least not the way we teach swimmers to fully utilize their breath, brain and body to swim smoothly.

The easier people can swim, the safer they are and the more they enjoy it. The more they swim, the more amazing benefits they get. Swimmers report a significant mood lift including feeling good in and about one’s body. In addition to perfecting freestyle for distance and speed, adults learn some alternative strokes including a fast, easy, efficient form of sidestroke that’s great for safety and speed and is rarely taught well enough to be useful. Triathletes and all adults find that using a variety of strokes promotes better muscle balance than swimming freestyle only.And this leads to less pain down the line. 

The variety contributes to making swimming the pleasurable and beneficial activity it is, especially once it becomes easy to do it well.

Adult Group

Adult Group 1

In Group 1, we offer a fun, effective program for adult beginners, and a process for the intermediate swimmers who were beginners last time, to get two regular swim practices per week and to further improve their skills and begin to call themselves swimmers.

Adult Group 2

In Adult Group 2, our high level athletes from the triathlete community, the running community and from Cross Fit have found that we can help them swim better and faster, with less effort than before. For some this is about competition. For others it’s about fitness, weight management, and stress relief.

Adults come to us to swim or swim better. Some are triathletes and some are mere mortals. We provide a refresher class and the coaching that finally makes swimming no sweat, because we teach swimmers to fully utilize their breath, brain and body to move through the water easily, efficiently and quickly so they can enjoy an activity that makes them feel fit and fabulous. 

See the video TC Palm did on our summer program for adult beginners.

The Swim Squad will participate in the Aaron Vaughn Memorial Frogman Swim in Jensen Beach on Saturday June 25. Plans are underway for a scholarship swimmer in honor of the entire Johnson family that led the way about how to always show up.
