Select Class Level

Baby — Beginner

In our “Baby & Me” or Baby – Beginner class, swimmers will have a parent alongside them. We focus on getting both baby and parent comfortable in the water. Parents can expect to see their baby learning to float on their back, climb in and out of the water, and safely go underwater.

Most babies age out of “Baby & Me” when they reach 3 years and transition to our Level 1 – Beginner class. Some toddlers who display confidence in the water and can float and swim 3 feet on their own graduate to our more advanced baby swim class, Baby – Independence.

Baby — Independence

Baby – Independence is for toddlers who have graduated from our Baby – Beginner class. Parents are no longer required in the water with their little one. Toddlers must be able to float on their own and swim 3 feet independently (with no help). This class focuses on advancing their safety skills and learning to swim independently with windmill arms and rollover breathing.

At age 3, swimmers age up to Level 1 – Beginner or Level 1 – Advanced.

Level 1 — Beginner

Our Level 1 classes are divided by level and age so your swimmer is with peers at a similar stage. Make sure to check ages when choosing a Level 1 class below.

Level 2

Level 2 teaches kids to swim 40 feet independently with strong rollover and side breathing. Swimmers will gain endurance and learn elementary backstroke! Swimmers must be able to swim 20 feet independently to take this class.

Level 3 — Intermediate (Level 3, INT)

Level 3 Intermediate is for kids who can swim 40 feet independently. Swimmers will learn technical skills and work on endurance so they can swim backstroke and freestyle 25 yards with flip turns.

Level 3 — Advanced (Level 3, ADV)

Level 3 Advanced is for kids who want to master the four competitive strokes and swim 100 yards with confidence! Swimmers must be able to swim 25 yards (75 feet aka a full regulation lap length) independently to take this class.

Adult — Beginner

For anyone 16 years and older who has little to no prior experience with swimming. We can help you conquer your fears and/or reach a new milestone in the pool.

We’ll work on gaining comfort, floating, treading, and–when you’re ready–swimming 20 yards. Additional work in the water will include jumping in, turning around, grabbing the wall, using windmill arms, and mastering rollover breathing.

Adult — Advanced

For anyone 16 years and older who is comfortable in the water, but wants to build confidence, endurance, and technique. Students should be able to jump in, tread water for two minutes, and float on their back.

We will work together to increase treading time and achieve longer distances in both freestyle and backstroke. Goals for the advanced adult class include a five-minute tread without using any buoyancy device, a 40-yard freestyle swim, and a 40-yard backstroke.

Suzanne Walsh

Aquatics Experience Manager

Suzanne started swimming very young, switching to competitive swimming when she was 10, and continuing through high school. She raised two boys who also swam competitively through high school, and during this time was certified as a Stroke & Turn Referee for USA Swimming. She started teaching private lessons years ago, and previously taught group lessons at The Dive Shop in 2020. She’s now back and running the swim program at The Dive Shop/ Diventures. As an SSI certified Swim Teacher and Swim Teacher Instructor, Suzanne can teach anyone to swim, from two months old through adults. Before raising her boys, she was also a PADI Open Water Scuba Instructor.

The water is her happy place. She loves to swim wherever she can and truly loves to share it with anyone who wants to learn. It’s also a life skill – something you can do your entire life. This skill is especially important for kids since drowning is a leading cause of death for them.
