Advanced Swim Lessons

Our Stroke School is designed for advanced swimmers needing instruction in legal stroke technique. These programs aim to develop a swimmer with the correct stroke habits early in their development to ensure a strong and legal swimmer in their fitness or competitive future. Stroke School also supports advanced safety skills, creating a stronger and more confident swimmer with each new stroke mastered. Like our Learn to Swim program, the Stroke School levels consist of multiple skills to keep our swimmers challenged and ensure a comprehensive understanding of the water.

Swim Lessons Evaluations

Every swimmer (except private lessons and adult swimmers) needs to be evaluated before their registration is complete unless otherwise approved by Waterloo. This includes all swimmers that have not taken Waterloo programming for 90 days or more. This evaluation allows us to make sure each swimmer is in the best class or group and is very important to their success.

We offer free Swim Lesson and Swim Fitness evaluations on Saturdays between 12:30pm and 1:30pm at both locations, no appointment needed. Feel free to stop by anytime during that time period and we will get your swimmer evaluated. Email info@waterlooswimming.com for any questions.
