Spring 24 Swim Lessons

Coastal Carolina University is bringing back swim lessons for all ages and levels.  Our swim lessons provide a safe and fun environment to learn.  We offer small class sizes to encourage more swim time to build skills and confidence in the water more quickly with each swimmer.  Swim lessons occur on Monday and Wednesday evenings for three weeks at a time at the Williams Brice Aquatic Center.  We offer six different classes to accommodate all levels:

  • Parent and Child: 6 months-3 years.  Offered Monday/Wednesday at 5:45-6:15 pm: $45 CCU/$55 Community. 
    • This class is designed to help younger children become comfortable in the water with the help of a parent.  Children will develop readiness skills through fun and confidence-building experience.  Parents accompanying their child will also learn about water safety, drowning prevention, and the importance of supervision.
  • Preschool 1: 3-5 years.  Offered Monday/Wednesday at 4:30-5:00 pm: $45 CCU/$55 Community.
    • Preschool 1 is a beginner level for younger children.  It’s designed to help build confidence in the water without a parent.  Swimmers will develop comfort with underwater exploration and learn personal water safety by learning to float, putting their face in the water, and practicing treading water.
  • Preschool 2: 3-5 years.  Offered Monday/Wednesday at 4:30-5:00 pm: $45 CCU/$55 Community. 
    • This class is for intermediate to advanced preschoolers that feel comfortable in the water.  This class is designed to help develop confidence in the swimmers so they can swim without assistance.  Skills such as submerging fully underwater, treading water, learning swim strokes, and breathing while swimming will be taught in this class.
  • Beginner: Kindergarten-13 years.  Offered Monday/Wednesday at 5:00-5:45 pm: $50 CCU/$60 Community.
    • This class is designed for older children to help build confidence in the water without a guardian.  Swimmers will develop comfort with underwater exploration and learn personal water safety by learning to float, putting their face in the water, learning to hold breath, and practicing treading water.
  • Intermediate: Kindergarten-13 years.  Offered Monday/Wednesday at 5:45-6:30 pm: $50 CCU/$60 Community.
    • Intermediate class is for swimmers who are comfortable in the water and are ready to start learning swim stokes.  In this class, they will begin with doggy paddle and work their way up to freestyle.  Swimmers will be taught how to kick and adding breaths while swimming. Lastly, swimmers in this class will start to become comfortable in deeper water while treading.
  • Advanced 1: Kindergarten-13 years.  Offered Monday/Wednesday at 6:15-7:00 pm: $50 CCU/$60 Community.
