ABOUT PLAYTIME

What We Value

At Playtime Swim School, we believe that consistency and repetition are the keys to gaining swimming skills. We understand learning to swim can be a challenging and sometimes daunting experience, but with the right approach, it can also be a fun and rewarding one. That's why we have developed a philosophy that emphasizes the importance of regular practice and the value of quality instruction.

Guidance

Our approach is based on the belief that swimming is a skill that can be learned by anyone, regardless of age or ability. We believe that by providing a safe and supportive environment, along with expert instruction and guidance, we can help our students develop the confidence and proficiency necessary to become strong and capable swimmers.

Consistency

To achieve this goal, we encourage our students to swim at least two times a week, with three to four days of separation between the classes. We believe that this level of consistency is crucial for building muscle memory, developing good habits, and reinforcing the skills and techniques learned in class.

Passion

We also believe that high-quality instruction is key to success in the water. That's why we employ only the most experienced and qualified instructors, who are dedicated to helping our students achieve their full potential. Our instructors are passionate about swimming and are committed to creating a positive and supportive learning environment.

Purpose

Ultimately, our philosophy is centered around the belief that swimming is not just a skill, but a lifelong pursuit. We believe that by providing our students with the tools and techniques they need to become confident and capable swimmers, we can help them enjoy the many benefits that swimming has to offer, from improved fitness and health to increased self-esteem and confidence.
