Glacier Swim

Glacier Swim Students 18 months and older: Swim-Float-Swimmers
Children in this age range will typically learn the ‘swim-float-swim’ sequence.

Glacier Swim provides 1:1, customized swim lessons for children of all ages— from Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) lessons for infants and toddlers to stroke + dive lessons for beginner and advanced swimmers ages 6+. Students 6 months- 18 months: Floaters
At this age, ISR students will learn to hold their breath underwater and roll to their back to float unassisted and remain there where they can re

st and breathe until help comes. This sequence involves students learning to hold their breath underwater while swimming in a head down position, then rolling onto their back to float, rest, and breathe. Students then flip back over and continue the swim-float-swim sequence until they reach an edge or are able to crawl out or be rescued by an adult.

A little appreciation post for the man behind the scenes who has made so much of Glacier Swim possible 🥹🐠

If you’ve spent any time at our pool, you’ve probably seen Glen wandering around, always making sure everything is just right for us. We wholeheartedly mean it when we say that we wouldn’t be where we are today without him.

As Glacier Swim has grown, Glen has grown right along with us. When we reached the point where we needed space for a second instructor, he literally built us a teaching platform on the far side of the pool so we could make it work. 🥹 He keeps the water at a toasty 88° year-round for our little swimmers (even though the scuba divers might prefer it a few degrees cooler 😂) and every single day, he opens the pool for us, gets everything ready, and is there again to help us close it all back up.

There are so many little things that happen behind the scenes to make this program possible, and Glen is responsible for more of them than most people will ever know.

We’ve grown a LOT in this little pool, and he has never once made us feel like we’re taking up too much space. Instead, he just keeps finding ways to help us grow. 🤍

So if you see Glen wandering around the pool, make sure you give him a big hello. We’re very, very lucky to have him— and Glacier Swim quite literally wouldn’t be what it is today without him.🐠🤍

We are so, so excited to officially welcome Gabby to the Glacier Swim family 🤍🐠

Because of the incredible support from our families (seriously… thank you 🥹) and the growing demand for lessons, it was finally time to expand our team — and Gabby feels like the absolute perfect addition.

Gabby brings such a warm, approachable presence and a really special way of making kids feel safe, seen, and comfortable. Her big heart for kids and genuine passion for water safety align so beautifully with everything Glacier Swim stands for.

Over the next several weeks, Gabby will complete an extensive hands-on training process, including a full week of on-deck observation and 30+ hours of in-water instruction before beginning to teach lessons of her own during our July 6–August 14 session. We’re incredibly intentional about our training process, and we couldn’t feel more confident in the care and instruction she’ll provide to families.

Registration opens in just a couple of weeks, and we’re feeling extra excited about this next chapter 🐠

Spring break and summer fun is RIGHT around the corner! Have you heard about our stroke and dive program? 👀🏊‍♂️

Glacier NEXT is taught by Jill Stonehouse at Flathead Scuba. Jill grew up swimming competitively and brings years of traditional swim instruction experience. She’s CPR & First Aid certified and a certified SwimAmerica instructor (although this is NOT a SA program). Get to know Jill In the graphic below!

Who’s it for?
👉 Kids 6 and up (no max age!)

What we’ll cover: Glacier NEXT is unique to other programs in the Valley in that it meets kids where they are — every lesson is customized to your child’s individual age, needs, and goals.

✔️ Kids who can already put their face in the water and self-rescue (float on their back or independently get to safety after entering deep water) will work on:

• Streamline & kicking mechanics
• Treading water, dives & intro to side breathing
• Strokes: freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke & butterfly
• Endurance, confidence & FUN

✔️ Kids who aren’t self-rescuing yet will focus on:

• Floating and maneuvering on their back (safety first!)
• Kicking mechanics & breath control
• Face-in-water comfort through bobs, “superman” launches & diving for toys
• Building a foundation that progresses into strokes & dives

Lesson Structure:

• Private (1:1) lessons — 15 or 30 minutes
• Semi-private (2:1) lessons for siblings or buddies close in age/ability

If you’d like more details, please reach out! We offer a COMPLIMENTARY 15-minute assessment lesson so you can meet Jill and see if Glacier NEXT feels like a good fit before committing long-term😊
