Swimming for 2010

LINX Summer Camp offers a superior swim program led by Red Cross Certified Lifeguards and Water Safety Instructors. All campers get to swim daily in the brand new pool at Elm Bank! Individual skill assessments take place at the start of each session and campers are divided into groups based on their skill level. Each group's swim period rotates throughout the weeks so campers get to enjoy the water at different times of day.

LESSONS AND FREE SWIM DAILY: We've done the studies and developed a program that just makes sense! No more need for two suits and two towels! No more rushing kids into and out of the water for two shorter swim periods a day. LINX Camps gives campers one longer swim period each day. The first half of the daily 60 minute swim period is reserved for lessons and the remaining time is reserved for free swim.

Red Cross Instructors certify each child's swim level and help them advance their skills throughout the summer. Through the use of the LINX fun-based learning philosophy, campers have a blast playing swim games while developing their comfort and skills all the way through American Red Cross Swim Level 6.

YOUNGER CAMPERS: POOLS YOU CAN STAND IN!!!

LINX offers shallow depth pools that enable campers to stand comfortably while receiving swim instruction and during free swim.

While our staff is certified and trained to work with all swim levels, they are truly gifted when it comes to the Fun Bunchers and the Explorers (3 - 6 year olds). Their nurturing approach is comforting to children as the campers are encouraged to participate and play. Practicing and teaching water safety is the top priority at all times. We maintain one swim instructor for every five swimmers, and have the group counselors in the water to help maintain an even greater level of supervision. During free swim, the water safety staff remains in the water with the campers!

AFTER CAMP EXTRA LESSONS
Campers who are registered for the Extended Day Program automatically receive an extra 60 minutes of swim. Parents may choose to add an extra 30 minutes of swim lessons each day.
