IAM Adult Learn-to-Swim Fall Program 2014

Thank you for your interest in Indy Aquatic Masters' Adult-Learn-to-Swim program. In conjuction with the US Masters Swimming's Adult Learn-to-Swim program who has endorsed the American Red Cross "Five Competencies," we will provide each swimmer with the skills needed to save themselves in an emergency situation. These skills include entering water over your head, treading water for 1 minute, swimming 25 yards unassisted, having the ability to exit water after swimming, and exiting without a ladder. We do this by providing a program that has a 1 to 3 instructor to student ratio, and our program is tailored so that once a skill is mastered, you automatically progress to the next level. All adults are welcomed from those who have a fear of the water to those who wish to learn how to swim faster and better.
