Sisterswim Lessons
Lessons offered by Sisterswim are based on the adult learning model. Learners may start out together and progress at different rates. It is up to the learner to determine the pace of their learning, and take the initiative to move on to the next step in swimming instruction. It is ideal that lesson participants partner in the water with other learners to practice demonstrated strokes. Upon showing proficiency in the skills taught, learners will need to take the initiative to show the instructor their acquired stroke, and either ask for tips for improvement, or to learn the next stroke. Learners who take the lessons seriously will learn swimming techniques at their own pace.

Lesson participants should be adults, teenagers or sisters at least 8 years of age. Those under 8 years may join with a participating adult learner, who will be in the pool with the child at all times, within arm’s reach.
Participants should be dressed from neck to knee. Learners will need to display their ribbons on their swimsuits at all times while in the pool. Membership cards will need to be shown to gain entry. Do not lose or misplace your card, as this is your proof of registration. Dates and times of the lessons are printed on the cards. Please check the website www.sisterswim.com for any updates.
