SwimKids USA Curriculum

At SwimKids USA, our curriculum is broken up into what we call “SCHOOLS.” This is similar to how the school system is structured. We have a “SCHOOL” that is appropriate for every age and skill level! Within each “SCHOOL” there are 3 “PARTS,” which are like the grade levels of the “SCHOOL.”

 There are 8 classes within each “PART.”

We are a very results oriented swim school. So you will see that each “PART” has a specific purpose! Children are placed in a class based their ability.
