Because Every Swimmer is Unique

We understand that every swimmer has different needs. In small classes, our Certified WETS Instructors tailor each lesson to meet each swimmer's stage of development. 


From the very beginning of their swim journey with WETS, our Instructors apply a hands-on approach and proactively anticipate errors to ensure swimmers develop positive muscle memory by practicing and repeating the correct technique and form as they build each new swim skill.

Students learn essential water safety and develop their swimming capabilities through our Progressive Skill-Building Method. Each swim skill is taught in a structured sequence, step by step, with each skill providing the foundation for the next as swimmers progress. 

As swimmers demonstrate proficiency in each swim skill they collect skill tokens that recognize their progress and make learning to swim both exciting and enjoyable.

PROGRESSIVE SKILL-BUILDING

DEVELOPMENT STAGES

WETS integrates decades of aquatic education expertise with its proven skill-building approach that focuses on continuous improvement through WETS 1 and WETS 2 development stages.

FOUNDATIONS & WATER SAFETY

WETS 1

WETS 1 begins as students enter the water with a focus on developing confidence and easing fears. This stage equips students with the building blocks of swimming.   


FOUNDATIONS

Students develop coordination and learn techniques to prepare them for WETS 2. Students focus on eliminating errors so they can develop strong strokes. 


WATER SAFETY

As students practice safe water entries, they gradually progress to jumping into deep water and returning to safety.

STROKE DEVELOPMENT & endurance

WETS 2

WETS 2 advances students' swimming capabilities, refining four essential stroke techniques, including Front Crawl, Back Crawl, Elementary Back Stroke, and Breast Stroke.


STROKE DEVELOPMENT

The program is flexible in which strokes to focus on first, personalized to each swimmer based on their preferences, strengths and goals.


ENDURANCE

As students demonstrate their stroke proficiency, they work on extending their swimming distances and building stronger endurance up to 500 meters.


*WETS 2 lessons may not be available at all locations.


Progress You Can See.

Confidence They Can Feel.

MEASURABLE PROGRESS

SKILL PROGRESSIONS

Swimmers receive a Swim Wristband when they register. As swimmers demonstrate new skills, they earn tokens visually marking their progress that they collect on their wristband.


WETS continuously recognizes each swimmer's achievements as they advance through the WETS 1 and WETS 2 development stages.


Upon completing their skill token collection, swimmers graduate from the program with an official WETS certificate celebrating their swim skill achievements and proficiency.
