Private Swim Lessons in
Bridgehampton, NY
OUR THEORY
At Art of Swimming, we believe that swimming lessons should be fun. Our goal is to teach our students how to swim in a safe and fun environment to help them learn as fast as possible. From the very first swim lesson, our Certified instructors start to build trust with their students. Our highly trained swim instructors do not scare students! No matter what age or swim level, this is our top priority. We understand the water can be scary for some of our students and we want to ensure that they are comfortable with their instructor from the very beginning.
From there, we begin to teach our private swimming classes in a gentle yet effective way. Unlike other swim schools, here we strive to teach our students safety and how to swim, with a results driven mindset. Over the years we have developed a method of teaching swimming that allows us to speed up the learning process. Using a combination of psychology, non-verbal cues, and tools, we know when a student is ready to move on to the next step or if they still need a little more time. This allows our students to learn to swim easier and achieve their goals faster.
Overall, we want our students to learn how fun swimming can be. We truly love what we do and when we see our students progress in swimming it just makes us love it even more.
WHY WE ARE DIFFERENT
We are different because we focus on teaching the muscle memory of each of the strokes. Our method was developed over 50 years and partially based on the educational methods of Maria Montessori. Family legend says that the founder, Vicki, is a distant relative of Maria. Because of this family history, Vicki developed the Montessoro Method which is initially child-centered and child-directed for our kids swimming lessons. As the lessons progress, they become more structured and kinesthetic. The baby swim classes, and the toddler swimming lessons start with a kinesthetic play approach. They don’t even realize they are learning to swim. The children LOVE their instructors!
Many hours of work are completed each year analyzing the strokes of the world’s greatest swimmers to see every little piece of the stroke. After we break it down, we find a way to over-exaggerate certain pieces of the stroke that are key to helping an individual improve their strokes quickly. At Art of Swimming, we teach hydrodynamic principles in such a way that anyone can apply them. This works especially well with our aquaphobic adult swim classes. Triathletes also benefit from this stroke analyzation. They can get proper body position and breathing down to minimize drag and improve performance in our private adult swimming lessons.
In our private swimming lessons, we have found concepts which are extremely important to speed up the learning process. We have the summer to get our students swimming, no matter how young. Adult swimming lessons may concentrate on stroke development, breathing, or conquering fear. Swimming lessons for kids start by overcoming common fears and then progress to other swimming lessons skills. It may cost more for our lessons, but you will save money and have peace of mind. Other programs want to keep you coming back by not progressing the student quickly. With our method, we prefer you or your children have an awesome experience, reach your goals quickly, and tell your friends and family!
We are different because we truly love what we do! We have been doing this for many years and it is not just a job. Our families become OUR FAMILIES. We LOVE watching our students succeed and become confident, happy swimmers!
The Montessoro Method Was Developed Over 50 Years To Make Your Experience Fun!
Infant & Child Swimming Lessons
Infant and child swimming lessons are geared toward teaching them as fast as possible for their age and physical ability. Our instructors have more than 100 hours of training beyond the American Red Cross Water Safety Instructor course.
Parent and Me Swimming Lessons
Parent and me swimming lessons are intended to teach a parent how to work with their child to learn swimming maneuvers. These skills are precursors to proper swimming position as they get older and more adept.
Adult Swimming Lessons
Adult swimming lessons range from lessons for the aquaphobic adult to a triathlete that may be better at running or biking than swimming. Nannies are often taught to be a better swimmer for the sake of the children they care for.
