SWIM LESSONS
From Learn-to-Swim to Beginner Recreational Athlete | Children and Adults | Open to Members and the Public
Swim lessons might be for you or your child if you have the following goals:
– Learn to swim
– Build stamina and confidence in the water
– Swim across the pool in preparation for swim team next summer
– Supplement swim team practices to work on specific stroke mechanics and efficiency
– Beginner triathlon swimming preparation
– Individualized swimming workouts with a trainer
Registration is open for The Bent Tree West Swim & Tennis Center Spring & Summer Swim Lessons Program. Semi-private and private lessons available. All swim lessons are in partnership with Select Team of Aquatic Racers. Swim lessons are taught by trained coaches and instructors of Select Team of Aquatic Racers. All coaches and instructors have previous experience working with children as well as USA Swimming Club Team experience. Parents must be present poolside for youth lessons at all times.
Each private lesson is conducted based on the swimmer’s current skill level and addresses the swimmer’s goals for each lesson. Contact Info@SelectSwim.com to be placed on an interest list for private lessons.
Each swimmer in semi-private lessons is placed into 1 of 4 levels that ranges from blowing bubbles to swimming all four competitive strokes (butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle) correctly. Contact Lessons@SelectSwim.com to schedule an evaluation for the swim lessons program.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Do I have to be a member of Bent Tree West Swim & Tennis Center for my child to swim on The Wave swim team or to take part in the Swim Lessons Program?
A: No, membership to BTWSTC is not required. However, you and your child will not be permitted to stay in the pool area after practices, meets, and/or lessons conclude.
Q: What is the water activity cancellation policy in case of rain?
A: We will hold all swim team practices and water activities if at all possible, but safety comes first. If there is no thunder or lightning, there is a good chance we will hold water activities on rainy days. Should any activity be cancelled, you will receive an email as soon as the decision is made, notifying you of the change. If you do not receive an email, assume that the activity is still happening.
Q: Does my child have to participate in swim team meets?
A: The meets are strongly encouraged in order for your swimmer to see their progress throughout the season! There is no pressure to perform. Ribbons are given for completing a race and also for improving upon a previous time.
Q: Can I work with a swim instructor the same way I would a personal trainer?
A: Yes! You may purchase 30-minute or 1-hour lessons in multiples. Unused lessons will not be refunded.
Q: What is the cancellation/refund policy for swim lessons?
A: A cancellation notice must be sent at least 24 hours in advance of the scheduled appointment in order for the lesson to be rescheduled. Cancellations received less than 24 hours prior to the scheduled appointment, or missed appointments, will not be rescheduled. Unused lessons will not be refunded.
Q: What should I or my swimmer bring to my/his/her swim lesson or swim practice?
A: Swimmers should wear a swimsuit (one-piece for females preferred) and shoes that have enough grip to safely walk on wet (sometimes slippery or hot) pool decking. All swimmers must be potty-trained to enter the pool. Swim diapers are not allowed. Swimmers with long hair must tie hair back with a hair tie and secure hair under a swim cap. Swimmers must bring their own goggles to the swim lesson or practice. We have a limited number of kickboards and pull buoys. If a swimmer has his/her own kickboard or pull buoy, please bring them.
