Swim Lessons
Nemos
This beginning level for children teaches them to be comfortable and safe in the water. Instructors will focus on introducing children to the water and improving their safety and comfort in the swimming pool. The class will feature activities such as: face in the water, wet the hair, submerging, opening eyes, front glide, back glide, breath control, moving around comfortably, blowing bubbles. We highly recommend this level for children who have never taken lessons, preferably children between 3 and 5 years old.
Sea Turtles
This group is for children confident in the water and marks the beginning of independent aquatic locomotion skills. Children continue to explore using simultaneous and alternating arm and leg actions on the front and back to gain more proficiency for strokes. At this level, arm position, leg exercises, floating and breathing will all be connected with freestyle and backstroke. This level is recommended for children that are confident in the water but never had lessons, or children that have taken and passed the Nemos level. Preferably children between 4 and 8 years old.
Dolphins
This group is for children that are confident in the water and know the basic swimming skills of free style and backstroke.

The focus of this group is for children that already know basic skills of freestyle and backstroke or for children that passed the Sea Turtles level. Preferably children between 6 and 12 years old.

Learn to Swim
Swim Lessons are a critical resource given that drowning is the number one cause of accidental death for children under the age of four. Fortunately, research shows that a toddler who participates in swim lessons reduces this risk by 88%. Children of any age can quickly benefit from learning the skills to keep themselves safe in and around water. At High Sierra Pools, we are dedicated to preventing drowning by teaching children and their families to be safer. Our goal is that every student feels confident, in and out of the pool, with memories to last a lifetime.
Safer Facilities
According to the CDC, there is no evidence that COVID-19 can spread to people through chlorinated water. High Sierra Pools can allow purpose-driven swimming to take place by following strict safety protocols in and around the pool, maintaining proper water sanitation levels and, performing frequent cleaning and sanitization, and conducting regular health checks of staff and participants.
2022 Testimonials
“I enrolled my two granddaughters in the swimming lessons. They were Sea Turtles. The two trainers that worked with them were excellent. They were skilled working with kids that were afraid of the water and maintained a polite control to work through the lessons.”
“I wanted to write to you to let you know how much my daughter and I loved the swim lessons taught by Andrej this summer. My daughter went from refusing to put her head under the water at the beginning of the summer to treading water and learning to do freestyle and breaststroke at the end of the summer. Andrej is an incredible instructor who is great with the kids. My daughter had a lot of fun during the lessons while learning a lot. Our main concern with swim lessons is safety. It was clear from the very first lesson that our daughter was very safe with Andrej as the instructor.”
