At Pods Swimming, we teach infants and toddlers to be happy and comfortable swimming underwater. We also teach them to swim, float, swim: swimming forward, rolling to their backs for a breath, holding a float, and then rolling back to their stomachs.

These skills teach children not to panic and ingest water, as well give them life saving skills they will need in emergency situations. They also serve as the foundation for the Pods skill progression, the foundation for children to learn basic swimming skills and progress into proper stroke technique.

Our goal at Pods Swimming is to have children attain the necessary skills to swim with the best technique possible. We want children to have a solid foundation in all four strokes, a set of skills they will carry with them their whole lives. We place emphasis on proper body position, efficient kicking, and learning to swim forward by creating minimal resistance. This includes proper head position, hip position, hand entry and recovery.

Upon successful completion, students will independently swim all four stokes-- freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly-- with good form and efficiency.
