Tidal Waves Swim Lessons

first day of swim lessons

June 3rd, 2025

Swim lessons are held every Tuesday and Thursday at the Skyview Pool (4049 Skyview Drive, Brunswick). Our two groups are primarily based on age, but depending on skill level, we will move swimmers up or down groups to provide relevant coaching:

2024 Practice Times:
    11 & over: 9:00-10:00am
    10 & under: 10:00-11:00am

Our instructors engage each swimmer before getting in the pool and use fun games to teach how to swim. Swimmers can only learn when they are engaged, which is why the Forest Hills Tidal Waves focuses on the FUN-damentals of swimming.

Water confidence

Water confidence is the foundation of learning to swim. Our instructors utilize games and engaging activities to engage each swimmer at each level.

Body position

Teaching good body position helps swimmers advance faster and further. Our instructors focus on teaching good body position to help your child succeed as they progress.

Good strokes

Our instructors prepare your swimmer for future swim team participation by teaching all four strokes: butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, and freestyle.

Areas of Focus

Beginner group (8 and under):

  • Water confidence (breath holding, face in the water)
  • Floating
  • Kicking
  • Shallow end heavy instruction

Some swimmers progress at a much faster rate than others, so we give swimmers the ability to advance to higher level groups during their time in lessons in the summer. This way, swimmers are always challenged in their skills! This is at the coach's discretion and will communicate with the parent of the swimmer when a swimmer is ready to move up.

If a swimmer progresses above the skills we teach in lessons, they can immediately move right to the swim team! The cost of lessons is the same as the swim team so there is no additional cost.

Coaching Philosophy

Our local swim lesson program is a fun, low commitment sport that experienced swimmers can enjoy while also providing the foundations for developing new swimmer's strokes.

Our number one goal is to make swimming enjoyable for your child so that they will want to come back every day. We can't teach your kids how to swim if they aren't enjoying it!
