WAVE swim team prep program

Our WAVE program is a fun, casual swim team prep for those swimmers looking to bridge the gap between swim lessons and a more competitive summer or club swim team. WAVE focuses on refining techniques of all four strokes to make them both efficient and legal. Our swimmers build endurance under trained coaches and develop the skills they need to participate in swim practices and even intrasquad meets!  The WAVE program accepts swimmers at the Intermediate 2 level or higher, helping our more experienced swimmers develop their confidence and love for the sport.  
 
Whether you’re looking to prepare for a summer swim team, get a jump start on swim team training or just spend more time in the water practicing stroke technique, our WAVE program will add a dose of weekly water fun to your schedule.  

Swim Team Training

WAVE Swim Team Prep

Our WAVE program is a recreational swim team prep that welcomes swimmers with some knowledge of the competitive strokes to coached swim practices. WAVE builds swimmer endurance and strength as well as stroke technique, and it introduces concepts used in competitive swim training and swim meets. WAVE is for swimmers in Intermediate 2 or higher.  
 
*Scheduling and pricing are determined by location based on the number of swimmers enrolled. Swimmers will be grouped by ability level within practices. 

Swim Camps

Children come 4 times a week in one week in our SwimJam program. The lessons are one on one with our experienced instructors for a half hour. Whether you want to jump start your child's learning, or refresh their skills before the pool opens, SwimJams are a great way to accomplish this. This is also a great way to get some instruction when a child can not commit to swimming over a long period of time. Call your location for availability.

Swim Stroke Clinics

Perfect for a more advanced swimmer that needs some extra work on technique and endurance training. With a small group of kids (3-4 students) the instructor can work on advanced strokes using different drills to perfect their swimming. Swim Clinics are perfect way to clean up a student's strokes without having to commit to multiple lessons. The smaller group setting allows the instructor to focus on the intricate details of what the child needs to become a faster and more accomplished technical swimmer. These clinics are offered for an hour to boost endurance as well. Call your closest facility to check for availability.

The Benefits of Swim Team Training

Swimming is more than a life-saving skill. It’s a great stress reducer, cardiovascular endurance builder, and low-impact sport. When children develop a love for swimming, they set a course for long-term physical and mental well-being. 

When they choose to be a part of a swim team, children also enjoy priceless life lessons. Like many sports, swimming teaches discipline, responsibility, patience, and compassion. It also teaches children how to work together and bond over a common goal. 

At Saf-T-Swim Little Neck, we don’t just focus on training the swim team. We also offer private, one-on-one lessons that empower students with skills that will translate to all facets of a young athlete's life. In participating in both private lessons and our swim team, your kids get the benefits of personalized lessons in addition to the learnings that come with swimming as part of a team. They also gain the skills and confidence they need to complete at a high level while building rewarding bonds with teammates.

Infant & Toddler Swim Lessons

Infant & Toddler Swim Lessons

We offer infant and toddler swim lessons for kiddos as young as 4 months of age. Our goal is to help build confidence, instill vital water safety skills, and teach students how to instinctively react in a positive manner should a water incident occur. Our ParentTot classes are designed to deepen the parent-infant bond and increase social confidence while teaching vital water safety skills including floating, breath control, and kicking. Each class is taught at the child’s own pace with personalized attention from experienced instructors.

Children’s Swim Lessons

Children’s Swim Lessons

We offer progressive swim lessons for children of all ages and skill levels. Learning to swim is not only a crucial life skill, but it also builds confidence and independence. Swimming is also a great way to get exercise, participate socially with other children, and enjoy special moments in the water. Whether you want your child to develop life-saving water safety skills, learn fundamental strokes, or participate in elite competitions, our swim classes provide personalized instruction tailored to each student's unique needs.

Adult Swim Lessons

Adult Swim Lessons

We offer group and private adult swim lessons in a comfortable, stress-free, warm-water setting. No matter your age, it’s never too late to learn how to swim or to overcome a lifelong fear of the water. Whether you want to learn basic swimming fundamentals, gain endurance, or refine existing skills, our passionate instructors will help you learn the skills you need to be safe and enjoy special moments in and around the water.

Private Swim Lessons

Private Swim Lessons

Our private swim classes include one-on-one instruction with personalized curriculums for swimmers of all ages and abilities, from infants to adults. Because they provide a safe and supportive environment, private lessons build confidence and ensure that each student gets personalized attention. Our experienced instructors tailor their lessons for each student's unique needs in a safe, supportive environment free from the judgment and distractions that often come with large group swim classes.

Adaptive Aquatics Lessons

Adaptive Aquatics Lessons

Swimming is an important life skill with tremendous therapeutic benefits for kids with special needs. Swimming lessons can soothe sensory overload, relieve physical discomfort, and help kids learn life-saving water safety. In addition to teaching water safety skills, swimming lessons can also improve balance, coordination, strength, and range of motion. Our skilled, compassionate Saf-T-Swim instructors have extensive experience teaching kids with a variety of unique needs. 

Swim Camps & Clinics

Swim Camps & Clinics

Our SwimJams are a great way to get a child in the water multiple times in a week. Your child will swim four times in one week, for an individual lesson, really reinforcing their swimming skills in a shorter amount of time. This is a perfect opportunity for kids to learn who are involved in other sports or activities and can't commit to lessons for longer periods of time. Our Swim Clinics are a great way for your advanced swimmer to perfect their techniques or work on advanced strokes. The Swim Clinics are offered for an hour to boost endurance as well!
