ABOUT US

Delaware Swim School

Over the years, Delaware Swim School has been instructing thousands of children and adults. It is understood that everyone who enters the pool for his or her first lesson brings some fear and anxiety. Our job starts here. We take each individual and start to build security and trust. The goal is to have each person enjoy and appreciate the water.

Learning to swim is a gift that we love to give everyone. To achieve this goal, we use the “Love and Logic” method developed by Jim Fay and David Funk. Relationships are built not only with the children, but with the parents.

With great patience and love the children develop trust and security within themselves, the instructor, and the water. By offering children
choices, self-esteem is strengthened. We can only teach children the knowledge; they must willingly use it. Regardless of performance, these children have our unconditional respect and are treated with dignity.

    How long does it take before the student is swimming on their own?

    Every student is different and it will vary, however, with lessons and practice, it could be just a few short weeks before they are comfortable and progressing quickly.

    How many times a week do we need to have a lesson?

    Typically we have our students once or twice a week.

    Do you teach adults?

    Yes, we teach students of any age.

    Can I be in the water with my child during a swim lesson?

    If your child is under 2 years old, you may be in the water if you would like.

    Can a student go to swim team after swim lessons?

    Yes, we encourage our students to move to swim team once they are ready.

    What equipment is needed to learn to swim?

    A bathing suit and a towel. Goggles are optional.

    I have 2 (or more) children. Can they be in a lesson together?

    Yes, however, semi-private lessons are for children that are water safe and can swim independently. We will make this decision with your instructor on a case-by-case basis.

    Can I put my 3-year-old in a 30 minute lesson?

    Yes, as long as your child has the stamina and skill level to be in the water for 30 minutes. If a child is a beginner or too young, we will begin them for 15 minutes and extend from there if necessary.
