CURRICULUM

WETS Progressive Swim Program

In our program, every swimmer follows a personalized progression plan focused on building confidence, foundational stills, stroke techniques, and endurance.


Our skills-focused program meets swimmers where they are, helping them continuously improve lesson by lesson. In small class sizes, Certified WETS Swim Instructors guide students through Stages 1  and 2  of WETS Skill Progressions, reinforcing proper techniques and celebrating growth with our motivating Skill Token System.


Whether a student is learning to swim for the first time, overcoming water fear, or preparing for club, competition or another aquatic pursuit, they graduate from our program equipped with skills and confidence to swim well for life.


PROGRESSIVE SKILL-BUILDING METHOD

Mastering Foundational Skills

At WETS, we believe that every swimmer’s journey begins with mastering a sequence of swim skills that come together to form a proficient stroke. Our Progressive Skill-Building Method focuses on teaching one foundational skill at a time, with an emphasis on practicing proper technique to develop positive muscle memory from the start.

By breaking down the coordinated movements of a stroke—from initiation to completion—into manageable steps, swimmers gain new abilities with ease and efficiency. With each lesson, they build confidence as they progress toward learning the next skill in their progression.

Our Progressive Skill-Building Method not only accelerates skill development but also prepares swimmers to coordinate their skills into the four foundational swim strokes. In stage two of their development, swimmers expand their endurance and refine their technique, completing all skill progressions to become confident, proficient swimmers.



WATER SAFETY AND SWIM SKILLS

Developing Confident, Proficient Swimmers

Every element of our program is designed to provide students with the most effective way to learn water safety and develop their swim skills correctly. Certified WETS Instructors teach water safety and use a hands-on approach to demonstrate and teach each skill with the proper technique and form. By engaging students in their learning with questions, cues, and physical guidance, every lesson is interactive and tailored to help each swimmer progress.
