Advanced classes continue to build endurance, confidence and introduce and develop proficiency in the four main swim strokes. Class emphasis is on specific technical development of freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly strokes.

Advanced intermediate class is for students that are able to swim the width of the pool independently. This class builds endurance and confidence in swimming longer distances.

Intermediate classes are for students that can move short distances independently in the water. Our classes give necessary experience to the student to refine basic skills, increase distance and learn independent breathing. Starfish/Catfish classes continue in the progressive sequence of swimming. Sea Turtle/Sea Otter classes emphasize the importance of acquiring an independent breath.

Beginner classes are for children that have little or no swim skills. We believe that swimming is a lifelong activity that will benefit everyone. From “pool parties” to a trip to the beach, recreational water activities are part of our lives.

At Gym Magic we have a passion for teaching babies…and their parents! Shivering babies do not learn easily, so we heat our water to 89 degrees. Our state of the art, warm water pools provide a fun and comfortable atmosphere for YOU to help introduce your baby to the wonderful world of water.
