The BDA Swim Academy for children aged 5 to 14.

Our age-group swimming program builds a solid foundation in swimming skills, confidence, and technique while fostering a love for the water in a safe and enjoyable small group environment.

Program Structure

The BDA Swim Academy will offer three levels of small group swim programs, each with the ability to progress to the next group when the swimmer is developmentally ready.

Each level will focus on specific skill sets that are age-appropriate for that level.

Programs are offered every month.

Lessons take place on a specific day, each week for a full month. For example, every Monday at 4:30 for the month of May.

Clients can register for multiple days per week (discount provided for Level 3 if you attend every lesson).
