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.

Level Description

Sea Turtles

This level marks the beginning of independent aquatic locomotion skills. This class will introduce exercises in the water: arm movement, body position, leg movement, floating and blowing bubbles, connected with freestyle and backstroke. This level is recommended for children confident on the water but never had lessons.

Dolphins

This group is for children confident in the water and know the basic swimming skills of freestyle and backstroke. At this level, arm position, leg exercises, breathing, turns, tread water, and diving will be practiced. This group’s focus is for children that already know basic skills of freestyle and backstroke or for children that passed the Sea Turtles level.

Sharks

In this class, the swimmers will improve their backstroke, freestyle, breaststroke, and butterfly movements. The correct position to dive will also be an essential skill learned in the class. This class is recommended for children that successfully finished Dolphins level or children with previous swimming experience.
