The Severna Park Community Center’s swim program is based on well-regarded, nationally-accredited programs. Using a pediatrician-recommended, developmentally sound philosophy, we promote water safety, learning basic swim skills and stroke development through progressive, focused instruction. We cater to anyone interested in recreational or competitive swimming.
Our instructors are credentialed through the Red Cross Water Safety instructors or have equivalent training and experience and attend in-house clinics to learn best practices, master new teaching techniques and share creative lesson plans.
One of the most exciting developments this year is the acquisition of the Athlee underwater dual-camera system. This advanced technology enables coaches and instructors to deliver synchronized video footage from both above and below the water. With this system, coaches and instructors can provide real time feedback, which swimmers can review on a large screen right on the pool deck. Additionally, swimmers may have the opportunity of analyzing their performance and absorbing lessons on their personal computers at home. If you do not want to be videotaped, or you do not want your child to be videotaped, please email Shelly prior to the start of the session.
Age: 6 months to 3 years.
Designed to help young children become comfortable in the water and instruct parents how to teach their children basic swimming and water safety skills. Swim diaper or tight-fitting rubber pant required for all non-toilet trained children.
