The Lawrence Aquahawks Swim Academy is a summer long lesson program that teaches young children how to keep safe when they are around water.  Our program is designed with young children in mind.  Our first priority with any young person is to make sure they are safe when they are around water.  We are using the SwimAmerica lesson program.

SwimAmerica is a national program which was developed by competitive swimming coaches and successful swim school directors over 10 years ago. SwimAmerica is the only swim program endorsed by the American Swimming Coaches Association (ASCA), the most prestigious coach’s association in the world. With SwimAmerica water safety comes first! SwimAmerica lessons are designed to teach all the swim skills your child needs to be safe in and around the water for a lifetime. Although SwimAmerica operates at over 900 sites across the United States, The Lawrence Aquahawks offer the only licensed SwimAmerica program in Lawrence, Kansas.

More about SwimAmerica

SwimAmerica is station-based program with 10 different stations offering instruction for children of all levels. At Lawrence Aquahawks SwimAmerica, we begin at age 3 - if your child is potty trained. As the skills of each station are mastered, your child is rewarded and moved to the next station within the progression. This effective step by step method allows even the youngest swimmers to learn to swim SAFELY, while offering stronger swimmers the opportunity to develop all the competitive strokes.

The following is a summary of each stations' skills and goals:

Note: Good breathing is the KEY to good swimming. If you do not breathe properly then you will not swim well, and you will tire more quickly. We spend a lot of time working on bobs and breathing properly at all SwimAmerica stations.
