The Starfish Academy Swim Lesson Program has completed for the 2024 Summer Season. Check back May 2025 for details about the 2025 Season. Registration for the 2025 Season will OPEN Monday, May 12.

The Starfish Swimming curriculum is designed for students ages 6-months to adult. Benchmarks are established at each stage in the program that combine both swimming and safety skills.

Students participate in experiential learning activities that allow them to explore the water in a creative and comfortable environment. Correct swimming techniques are taught from the very beginning, providing an easy transition to the recreational swim team.

Students work toward development of the five core swimming competencies and receive color stage awards for each achievement. The color stages are used to divide students into broad ability groups. Children progress at individual rates with the opportunity to learn the core swimming skills and progress to advanced strokes. Water safety and drowning prevention are also incorporated into each color stage to help promote the safest swimmers possible.

Registration is an easy process, simply register for the Swim School Rotation time that works best for you and your learning swimmer.

At the end of the registration process you will be asked questions about your swimmer’s ability. Your answers will be used to help instructors sort your swimmer into the appropriate color level for the first day of Swim School.
