Prosper Swim School follows the PISD calendar so when school is closed, we are closed.
Our classes are skill based, not age based (please see the Which Level Should I Register For? section). The curriculum will adjust as the swimmer makes progress; no need to change days or times! Each lesson is 25-30 min.
Class size is limited to 2-3 swimmers for levels 1-4 and gradually increase as the progression levels increase.
We teach all 4 competitive strokes, flip turns and dives. For the swimmers wishing to tryout for our club swim team, we have an advanced class called Bridge to Swim Team. This class helps to build strength and endurance as well as swimming vocabulary. Bridge is $145/mo for regular school year lessons (meeting 3X week for 45 min).
