About My Lessons:
We teach ages 3 through adult.
– We teach beginners through competitive swimmers.
– We teach all students as individuals, no groups. They progress at their own developmental level, physical ability and pace.
– Each lesson is 30 minutes long, beginning at the top of the hour or on the half hour
– All the teachers are certified and trained by Mindy, and each have CPR training
– Cost $95/week. Half needs or be paid within one week of signing up for lessons and remaining half on the first day of lessons.
– Checks are sent to Mindy Aronow at 4650 NW 52 St. Des Moines, Ia 50310.
****Weather is the only reason lessons are cancelled. Mindy makes the decision. We will teach as long as the weather is not dangerous, ex lightning. We only make up one lesson per week that has been cancelled due to weather.****
In addition we teach those with physical and mental disabilities
We do not teach levels in swimming, but we concentrate on safety first.
All students will put their heads into the water 3 times each lesson.
All students will jump off the side 3 times to the instructor and progress to jumping off without the instructor
All students will practice back floating and treading water every lesson.
We teach underwater stroke and backstroke first and once those are mastered we continue with Freestyle, Breaststroke and Butterfly.
