General Overview of Our Program
Silton Swim School offers a Monday through Friday, drop off/pick up swim camp program for students ages 3-13. Students must be fully potty trained and turning 3 no later than August 31st. Our minimum enrollment is 2 consecutive weeks, half day. Full day enrollment is available for students ages 5-13. Students can enroll for more than 2 weeks, but the first two weeks of his/her enrollment must be consecutive.

During the half day enrollment, students will receive three (3) half hour lessons per day, within a three hour session. This will total 30 swim lessons during our minimum two-week, half day enrollment. During the full day enrollment, students will receive six (6) half hour lessons within a seven hour enrollment. This will total 60 swim lessons during our two-week, full day enrollment. Full day students must pack a daily lunch.
Students are grouped according to age, not ability. Each class consists of two instructors. All instructors are American Red Cross certified in Lifeguard, First Aid, and CPR Training. Students will be instructed individually based on his/her skill level. Instructors will assess each student during the first day of enrollment and create a lesson plan for each individual student. Class sizes will average 10 students per session. In addition to our pool instructors, we have 4-5 additional lifeguards on duty during each session.
At Silton Swim School, we believe that communication between staff and parents is very important. Please feel encouraged to speak with your child's instructors daily at drop off and pick up. We offer a parents demonstration each Saturday morning coinciding with your weeks enrolled. Visit our Saturday Morning Program page for more details and information.
