Thank you for choosing to find out more about Kansas City Swim Rescue. My name is Jen Tyson and I have been teaching survival swim lessons for 10 years. I am so excited to share with you what survival swimming lessons are and how you can enroll your child.
Who are these lessons for? I specialize in teaching children 6 months (and sitting upright very well) to any age; any child/adult that does not know how to swim or utilize a survival float, is able to take lessons.
What are Survival Swim Lessons? A comprehensive swim program that teaches children survival floating skills and swimming skills. All instruction is tailored to each child’s specific abilities and needs.
What makes the different? Every lesson is one-on-one with the parent watching on the pool deck – no group lessons. I have a Behavioral Science Degree, and over 25 years of using behavior modification techniques with early education children. I have completed 8 weeks of classroom and in-pool training with a master instruction, am CPR/Frist AID certified and annually take continuing education classes to refresh and build expertise in teaching survival swim skills. This technique uses a science-based teaching approach that puts the needs and abilities of the child first.
What to expect lessons? All lessons are one-on-one, 4 days a week, for 10 minutes each day, for ~5 weeks, or 3 days a week. Your child stays in lessons until they are skilled; and once they are skilled, lessons will conclude.
How to schedule for lessons? Signup for the email notification list. Approximately (12) weeks before the start of a session an email will be sent letting you know when time/day session scheduling will begin, with specifics sent out (1) week prior to the schedule opening. On the signup day/time, scheduling will open and 10-minute time slots will become available on a first come first serve basis. Tuition ($800) is due on the signup date, the registration fee ($35) is due (4) prior to lessons starting, and the second half of the tuition payment is due (2) weeks prior to lessons starting.
