Our Swim Lesson Philosophy
Our Swim Lesson Philosophy
For generations, Hillside Pool has focused on teaching children how to become confident, capable, and independent swimmers.
Our lessons are designed to help children actively learn balance, floating, breath control, recovery skills, and independent movement through the water. Because of this philosophy, Hillside swim lessons purposely keep children out of flotation devices during instruction so they can learn how their own body moves and functions in the water independently.
As swimmers progress through Hillside’s lesson program, expectations and independence steadily increase at each level. Early levels focus on water comfort and recovery skills, while advanced levels build endurance, stroke technique, self-rescue skills, water competency, and aquatic safety awareness.
Our preschool lessons begin in our shallow baby pool, allowing younger swimmers to safely build confidence and independence in a developmentally appropriate environment before progressing into the main pool.
By Level 5 and Junior Lifesaving, swimmers are completing advanced swimming skills, treading water, learning rescue techniques, and building real aquatic competency.
At Hillside, our goal is to help children build the confidence, skills, and independence needed to safely move through the water on their own.
Hillside Pool in Greeley, Colorado is where kids learn to swim, and where many families find their summer home.
