Swimming
Lone Mountain offers pre-school water comfort and acclimation through beginner and advanced swim classes. Lone Mountain has developed a systematic program for teaching water safety and the four basic competitive strokes; freestyle, back stroke, breast stroke and butterfly. Each class is structured similarly so students know what to expect. Students are initially placed into classes by age, but as they individually progress, are placed into more advanced swim classes according to ability.
Providing a fun, safety conscious and engaging learning environment for kids of all ages and abilities is our commitment. We believe in developing physical and social skills through challenges and successes within our programs. Individual accomplishments and recognition for those accomplishments help to generate confidence and self-esteem. Lone Mountain seeks to create a positive, pro-active and supportive atmosphere for all our students, allowing children to enjoy their water experience from day one. We will never force a child into the water. If there is apprehension or hesitation we will encourage your child to watch and participate when he or she is ready. Here at Lone Mountain Swim School, we believe learning to swim, at all levels and for all ages, should be fun!
