Shark Swim School and Aqua Aerobics
SIGS Shark School is designed for a life of safety, fun and
fitness. Swimmer will learn proper  swimming techniques including body position, breathing, and stroke mechanics to build endurance and stroke efficiency. This will enable our graduates to join a competitive program if they so choose.
Instructors will follow a specific teaching progression to provide consistency throughout the programs. Students at the beginning of each session will build on skills learned during their last session, regardless of which instructor they had.
While recognizing that water safety is the primary reason to learn to swim, the program begins with teaching basic floats and kicking so swimmers feel comfortable enough to submerge and float through the water. Each level builds skills and endurance with a specific learning progression that makes the learning process easier. Higher levels teach the four competitive strokes and turns, so that when swimmers pass level 6, they will swim well enough to join any competitive team.
