Welcome to The Swim Academy at Wheaton Sport Center!
The Swim Academy is dedicated to teaching children lifelong swimming skills and safety.
We are an all-inclusive program for ages 4 months and up. Our progression based system
takes children from introduction to water to competitive swim team ready. From small
group classes to individual lessons, we can tailor lessons to meet everyone’s needs. Our
lessons have a wide variety of availability as well as many affordable options.
The Swim Academy uses top of the line training tools to aid in the learning process, includ-
ing marshmallow sticks, splash pads, kick boats and more. We offer private, sibling private
and group lessons for all ages, members and guests of Wheaton Sport Center.
With two state-of-the-art pools at the Wheaton Sport Center, there’s no better place to
come for a swim year-round! The recreation pool is perfect for relaxing with a waterslide
and 3 marked lanes. The lap pool is 25 yards long with 6 lap lanes.
Please note : All persons under the age of 16 must have direct adult supervision while in the pool area and
no person under the age of 16 may use the hot tub, with or without direct adult supervision.

GROUP LESSONS
Infants (Ages 4-12 months+) Swimmer/Instructor Ratio - 4:1
In this introduction-to-water class, we will work on teaching safety skills in/around the wa-
ter, followed by introducing the child to the water. We will focus on getting children more
familiar with swim positions: being in the water on their fronts and backs. We will use songs
and games to teach children to do basic motions including kicking and scooping the arms.
Water safety for children will also be discussed. This class is 30 minutes in the water, and is
a parent/child class and a parent is required to be in the water with the child.

Tots (Ages 13-24months+) Swimmer/Instructor Ratio - 6:1
Tot classes are geared toward the toddler who is learning to follow simple commands. It is a
parent/tot class and a parent is required to be in the water with the child. Songs and games
will be used to keep the class fun and entertaining for the child, while learning the basics
of swimming. Kids will begin to learn to listen to an instructor and follow basic commands
when prompted. Water safety will be discussed with parents as kids begin to learn to use
equipment to kick, scoop, blow bubbles, and float.

Toddlers (Ages 24-36 months+) Swimmer/Instructor Ratio - 6:1
Toddler classes are perfect for more hesitant swimmers who still rely heavily on a parent being
in the water. We will work on getting the child comfortable in the water with an instructor and
begin to become more independent. They will learn to blow bubbles, float, kick, and jump with
a parent, then we will progress so they are comfortable working directly with the instructor.
This class is a parent/tot class and the parent is required to be in the water with the child.
