Swim 2019 Season Cancelled

Swim 2019 Season Cancelled

Due to several arising circumstances we've had to cancel our swim lessons this summer. We had big plans this year but are going to have to hold off until 2020.

We recognize many of you have been working with us to put together lesson plans for your children, and we're sorry for any inconveniences this may have caused. We hope you understand this was not our intention at all.

Genuinely, it's difficult to go a year without so many awesome students learning here. There's never a dull moment. Thank you all for your interest and consideration this year.

Lastly we want to wish the best of luck finding lessons this summer. We know there are many great pools around the Meridian and Boise area, and despite them not having any of OUR instructors, we're sure they can cover your swim needs for a year. Our best wishes, for Summer 2019!

https://meridianswimlessons.blogspot.com/p/schedule.html

All Registration Requests should be sent to:

MeridianSwimLessons@gmail.com

It's the first day of lessons!

We recognize that it is chilly out, but the pool is WARM! About 88 degrees. Please help your kids have a great first day by being excited for them, reassuring them that it will be warm in the water, bring their towel and lots of smiles!

We can't wait to see you!

Swim Referral

Free YMCA Pass with Swim Referrals!

This year we're giving out Free YMCA passes when you refer any other swimmers to our program! When your referral signs-up and uses your first and last name in the referral field, both of you will receive a Free YMCA Facility Day Pass*. For details, check below! We wanted our swimmer's parents to have the ability to take their kids to the pool to practice a bit, so here's a day at the pool on us!

We have lots of fun planned this year, and we're looking forward to taking on the summer with a splash!

*Official Referral Rules: Event Date May 31-June 30. When signing up, the referrer's first and last name must be included in the referrer name field. Your referral doesn't have to register for the same class as your child, and can in fact register for any session during the summer. Multiple referral's can be completed for the same 2 customers depending on how many students are being registered up to a maximum of 3 (both customer's will receive 3 free YMCA Facility Day Passes if this is the case). Supplies are limited and this promotion will only last till the end of June or we run out of passes! YMCA Passes will be distributed on the first day of lessons. If you have any questions about the referral process, please email us at meridianswimlessons@gmail.com!

Are you ready to swim?

Just 3 more weeks till lessons start! 

We are so excited!!!

Our shopping cart is working again!

First of all wanted to apologize for the delay and the technical difficulties our site experienced at the beginning of this season. We have it resolved now and you can click the link above to go to our Schedule and Registration page to begin signing your kids up for swim lessons! Looking forward to another wonderful summer in the pool with everyone!

Hang in there...

Please be patient. 

We are working on the glitch in our shopping cart that is preventing people from completing their swim lesson registration purchase. 

You deserve the best and we are worth the wait! 

We are working on our 

2018 summer swim lessons! 

💙💦😅We look forward to swimming with you!

We are having a great summer of swimming!  

If you haven't signed up yet you are missing out!

 
 

Today, Wednesday June 15th 

WE ARE SWIMMING!

It is cold outside but the pool has been heated to 90 degrees. 

(It's almost a hot tub)

It will be chilly when your little ones exit the pool so be ready with their towels to scoop them up.

If it begins to sprinkle, we'll keep swimming. 
If we see or hear lightning or thunder then we will have to cancel. 

See you soon!

RAIN DAY!

Today, Tuesday, June 16th.

We are cancelling swim lessons today and moving them to the same time on Friday! 

We will discuss what to do if the weather continues this way tomorrow and let you know our plan.

Oh So Fun! Parent-Child Swim Classes

There are many benefits to parent-child classes! 

Swimmers learn the basics of swimming including:

J pool etiquette

J how to be around water

J aquatic readiness

J helps them to feel that water in their face isn't so unusual

J they learn there are fun activities to do in the pool

J prepares them for the next step of more serious swim lessons

J will learn skills that lead to stroke development

J skills introduced include kicking, bubbles, bi-lateral gross motor skills (helps in brain development as well)

J they learn how to be comfortable with getting their face wet, even when they are splashed

J they learn what to do if they fall in the water and the beginning steps of how to float on their own.

J Then, they can work at home, on the skills we teach, in the bathtub or their own pool.

All this while also encouraging parent bonding with their kids in a fun and safe environment.

Spots are still available in our 9:30 classes for sessions 1-5!

2016 Swim

We have some exciting changes this year! 



NOW FOR THE CHANGES:

FIRST - In response to requests over the years and last year's survey we are changing our program to a weekly program.  This will hopefully enable those who have multiple kids with lots of summer activities to get into lessons without missing several days.


TWO - We are considering offering an adult women's water aerobics class but need to know if there is enough interest.  Please comment below if you are interested or send us an email with your thoughts.  It would be offered in the morning, but we are interested in times you feel would work best.

THREE - Our very own swim champion, Taylor, will be offering a stroke clinic later in the summer.  This is for swimmers who can swim well and want to perfect their technique.  If it fills up quickly we may schedule another session, but for now there is only one - so reserve your spots before they're gone!


As always, we will be using the Red Cross Learn to Swim curriculum with a few modifications.

We are looking forward to seeing you this summer!

A few parent comments from our swim lessons...

J. and T. came home today and cried because swim lessons were over.  Thank you so much for helping them learn so much.  I didn't think they'd ever be able to back float, much less jump of the diving board and chicken-eagle-soar to the side of the pool!
Nana L.

My kids can't wait for swim lessons to start.  I had to explain to them that if they are still wearing a jacket outside, it's too cold to swim!  They love Miss Trudi!
Laura S.

I absolutely LOVE the lessons you provide...you and your boys are great with the kiddos, and it's nice to see how you work appropriately with all age/skill levels.
Kristen B.

You and your sons are awesome swimming teachers!
Rossana P.

I am so excited! You are just so good about working with me and all my kiddos. The kids were jumping up and down when I told them we were all signed up.
Nanette T.

Class was great today, he really enjoyed it. He is a little dramatic when it comes to getting wet and the water (which I am sure you picked up on...LOL), but I noticed you just had him do it and he seemed to do well. Thanks!!
Jodi H.

Hi Kristen...
Thank you so much for this last session of swim lessons. C. has improved so much! I can't wait until his next session, I'm so excited to see his progress then. I'd love to put C. on the list for your 9:30-10am beginner class. Thanks again for everything!
Katie G.
P.S   I think your boys are absolutely wonderful! They are SO great with kids, C. fell in love with them. Props to you as a wonderful mother for raising such fine young men, what a great example they are.  (This is me reveling in such a wonderful compliment!  :)


Thanks for sending this. As you could probably hear, my kids were being wild in the background while I was speaking to you!! They are so excited and have both asked several times since June when do they "get to go to swimming lessons again" - I love it!! : )
Kristal C.


Thanks so much for teaching T. these past couple of weeks. I am amazed at the progress he made in such a short time. My husband and I tried to teach him many of those same things with absolutely no success! T. obviously thrived in your teaching environment and especially enjoyed Austin and Rocky. He's so proud of his new skills. Every time we go to our neighborhood pool I see him giving other kids pointers on how to correctly back float or do chicken eagle soar or something, lol. He really loved going each day and I'm so happy (and amazed) at the growth of his confidence in the water. So thank you!
Sara W.

Our 2015 lessons are coming to a close this week.  It has been such a great summer with so much growth for students.  

We would like to thank all of our great students and families for their support!  We are striving every day to do better than the day before and we appreciate your feedback.  If you haven't had the opportunity to fill out our survey for this year, please contact us so we can get it to you. 

Although group lessons are done, the pool is still available for private rentals and we can work out private lessons as well.  See our schedule page for more details.

If you didn't take swim lessons with us but would like to be added to our mailing list to be notified of next year's registration, please send us an email.  

meridianswimlessons@gmail.com  

We hope you have a truly spectacular summer and coming year.  We look forward to seeing many of you again next year!!

Thanks!

The process for registering is simple.  We fill all classes on a first come, first serve basis.  And to track that, we do it all through email.

Please go to the "Schedule and Costs" page and look at the schedules. Choose the classes you would like to enroll in. Please choose 3 class times and list them in your preference from 1st - 3rd.

We will fill morning classes first, then move on to afternoon classes and add more as necessary. 

Once you know what classes you want please contact me by email. That way I have everything in writing, I can more easily fill classes by first contacted-first scheduled, and I am less likely to overbook classes. Feel free to call me with questions.

Once again, here is what you need to do to register:

1) Go to "Schedule and Costs" page - look at and select classes you want.

2) Add the sessions and class times you want to your cart.

3) Review your cart contents and make sure the dates and times will work for you.

4) Complete the purchase using your credit or debit card or your paypal account.
