FLOATIES OR NO FLOATIES? YOU DECIDE!

Stetson Famlee Swim School Instructors DO NOT utilize floaties during our swim lessons, and here is why:

Floaties hinder proper swimming by forcing children into a vertical "drowning" posture instead of a horizontal, streamlined position, which prevents natural balance and core strengthening. They create false confidence, restrict arm movement for proper strokes, and cause reliance on unnatural buoyancy, which delays independent swimming skills and inhibits proper breathing techniques.

Here is how specific floaties and devices hinder proper swimming development:

PROMOTE VERTICAL POSITIONING: Floaties, including armbands and puddle jumpers, keep a child's head above water, encouraging a vertical posture, which is the opposite of the horizontal position required for effective swimming and self-rescue.

RESTRICT MOBILITY: Armbands and bulky vests (like puddle jumpers) prevent kids from practicing proper swimming motions, such as reaching arms forward and coordinating body movements.

PREVENT NATURAL BALANCE: By providing unnecessary buoyancy, these devices stop children from learning how to balance, float independently, or feel their body's natural buoyancy in the water.

DELAY SKILL ACQUISITION: Children often rely on the flotation device, which stunts their ability to learn proper swimming techniques and may cause them to panic if they enter the water without them.

FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY: Floaties can give parents a false sense of security, which can be dangerous, as children can still face risks like overturning in the water.

For learning, it is generally recommended to avoid floaties and prioritize direct, in-water supervision and swimming lessons to build genuine water competency.

In Buckeye, our boundaries include Perryville Road West to Miller Road and from MC 85 North to Indian School Road.

We offer lesson durations of either 30 or 60 minutes. A 30-minute lesson is perfect for individual swimmers, while a 60-minute lesson is recommended for two or more participants to ensure everyone gets adequate attention. Our pricing is determined by the length of the lesson, not the number of swimmers, with a maximum of two non-swimmers per lesson or up to four intermediate swimmers per lesson. If you need a lesson that exceeds 60 minutes, please let us know, and we will gladly provide a tailored quote.

Please keep in mind that our official season begins on May 23rd, unless you have access to a heated pool. Before this date, the water temperature is typically not warm enough for young children to comfortably participate in lessons lasting up to 30 minutes.

We are so excited to offer Stetson Famlee Swim School’s Jump Start Swim Program! This program features four days of intensive swim lessons held in our heated pool located in Buckeye from May 14th to May 17th.

Please note that Jump Start lessons are for students already comfortable underwater. The swimming program's focused approach enhances each swimmer's chances of mastering techniques, improving water safety skills, and advancing overall progress.

The Jump Start Program is scheduled for Thursday through Sunday, featuring 30-minute semi-private lessons designed to cater to each child's age and skill level. Over the course of four days, swimmers will receive focused swim instruction, allowing for quick repetition that minimizes learning loss and enhances skill development.
These lessons are great for families with busy schedules that want to get 4 days of intensive lessons before the summer starts.
Cost for the (4) day program is $200 per student.

We have a limited number of spots available, and they will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Be sure to sign up early to secure your place!
