What is the swim program like for non-swimmers?
Non swimmers are worked with one-on-one or in small groups. Our certified lifeguard Swim Staff emphasize becoming comfortable with the water. The campers are encouraged to blow bubbles, put their face in the water, bob while holding the wall and leave the wall with the assistance of a Swim Staff or Group Counselor. Group Counselors are aware of which of their campers are uncomfortable with the water and stay with the camper groups that need the most encouragement and assistance, especially from someone they have built a trust with. Non-swimmers eventually become more and more comfortable with the water and will, by the end of their session, feel able to put their face in the water and learn some of the basic strokes.
