Welcome to SSA’s new and improved Homeschool Swim Lessons!
Designed with homeschool families in mind, our 1-hour classes run in 4-week sessions and combine structured learning with fun. Each class includes 40 minutes of swim instruction followed by 20 minutes of supervised open swim/structured play, giving kids the chance to apply new skills while staying active.
We offer three skill-based levels to ensure your child is placed where they’ll learn best:
- Beginner (10:00 AM) – Starfish & Turtle levels
- Intermediate (11:00 AM) – Primarily Stingray with some Frog
- Advanced (12:00 PM) – Frog & Dolphin levels
Small group sizes and clear skill tracks help your child grow in confidence, technique, and love for the water—all while meeting other homeschoolers in a safe and social setting! The rate is $70 per session, that gets you 4 1-hour long classes, no makeup available.
Level Breakdown:
🌟 Beginner Level (Non-swimmers) (10:00 AM – 6 Students Max)
Perfect for new swimmers, our Beginner level focuses on water safety, comfort, and basic swimming skills. This class is designed for those at our Starfish and Turtle levels, working on floating, gliding, kicking, and early stroke development—all in a supportive and encouraging environment. Ideal for kids who are still building confidence in the water.
💧 Intermediate Level (Swimmers) (11:00 AM – 8 Students Max)
Our Intermediate level is great for swimmers who are already comfortable in the water and ready to refine their technique. Focused primarily on our Stingray curriculum with introductions to Frog-level skills, students will work on proper freestyle and backstroke form, rotary breathing, and increased endurance.
🐬 Advanced Level (Advanced Swimmers) (12:00 PM – 8 Students Max)
This level is ideal for strong swimmers who are preparing for swim team or advanced stroke development. Covering Frog and Dolphin level skills, students will focus on refining freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and dolphin kick, as well as practicing treading water, dives, and stamina-building sets.

GUPPY
INTRO TO SWIMMING: This level is for children ages 6-36 months. One adult/guardian (over 18 years of age) must be in the water with the child. Helps develop swimming readiness by leading adult/guardian and child in water exploration activities with the objective of having fun and becoming comfortable in and around the water.
SEAHORSE
COMFORT: (Ages1.5yr to 5yr) This level is for those who are brand new to swimming or who have no prior swim lessons and want/need to be in the water with a parent, therefor it is required for a grown up to be in the water with each student. In this class, children learn to hold their breath, blow bubbles with mouth and nose, and put their faces in the water. They will learn basic floats and glides on front and back and learn to move independently using an assistive swim belt. They also develop a bond and trust for their instructor, as they build the courage to jump into the water.
This is our Starfish class for those who are not ready to get in without their guardian, or for those Guppy age kiddos who are ready for more than the Guppy level offers. A single parent/guardian is required to get in for these lessons. During this level we will work toward the goal that by end of lesson or age 3 your swimmer will be ready to get in without a parent/guardian.
Only one parent/guardian is permitted in the water with the swimmer, the other may remain in the waiting area or mall lobby and watch from their phone-see emailed titled "how to watch your swimmer"
