WILSON SWIMMING, LLC Information

Wilson Swimming is a Santa Barbara swimming lesson and summer swim camp program that has been teaching children to love the water for over 25 years. Located in Santa Barbara, the swimming lessons are run out of our backyard, where the atmosphere is approachable and kids feel comfortable learning to swim in a home environment. We emphasize building confidence, overcoming fears, learning to love the water, and eventually stroke technique in our family-run swimming lesson program. When children are ready to graduate from our swimming lesson program, we host a swim camp twice during the summer at UCSB. Santa Barbara Swim Camp is a more intensive swim program, where kids improve technically, and train with an expert coaching staff, while enjoying a summer sports camp environment. Together with our three grown children, all aquatic specialists and educators, we have developed a system of teaching that enables each student to excel and progress, while building confidence and self-esteem. Why do we do this? Swimming lessons should be FUN and SAFE and FLEXIBLE. Children learn faster if they are having fun while building new skills. We use games and toys to teach and practice each skill. The swim teachers are always inventing new games to let the swimmers be creative and keep the lessons interesting. Have a child thats afraid? No problem our swim instructors can soothe their fear of swimming, water, the deep end, or going under. Have a child that needs? Our teachers know when to praise, hug, challenge, and push. We have worked with every kind of child over the years. No child is too active, too timid, or too strong-willed to work with our experienced staff. We also have experience working with children who have special needs. Children of all abilities and personalities thrive when they learn to use their body, work with a teacher, and master a skill (whether it is blowing bubbles, or diving). Movement and exercise strengthen the body and brain. Kids that learn to swim learn a skill they can use their entire life. Water ...
