Swimming Programs & Lessons

Wikiup Swim School/Group Swim

Water safety is our first priority. Our immediate goal is that every child can consistently jump in and return to the wall unassisted. Once a child is ready, we continue development into a beginner stroke. In an atmosphere of patience and fun, our instructors build each child’s self-esteem through repeated success. Wikiup Swim School’s talented instructors make learning fun so students can progress quickly, develop good strokes and love aquatics.
Beginning swimmers are grouped into different levels according to swimming ability. Students are provided opportunities to advance levels by meeting specific water safety and skill requirements. Saturday and evening lessons available.

Water Aerobics

Take the plunge and try this low-impact workout that builds muscle strength and boosts your endurance. It’s fun, and it can be as challenging as you like.

A water aerobics class typically lasts an hour. An instructor will lead you through a series of moves, often set to music to keep you motivated.

Each water aerobics class includes a warm-up, cardio and strength-training exercises, and a cool down. Expect exercises like water walking, bicep curls, leg lifts, and kickboard moves. You won’t be swimming, and most water workouts are done in the shallow end of the pool.

Deep Water Fitness

This deep water class is geared to train your cardiovascular system as well as give you a total body workout with no impact. Maximize your potential using a combination of deep water exercises, swim conditioning, pool side strength training, aqua- jogging and fun.

Treading water is the act of moving your arms and legs to keep yourself afloat. Usually people tread water in the deep end of a swimming pool or in deep areas of open water in which they can’t stand.
