LifeCycle Swimming teachers are swim instruction professionals who care deeply about swimming and water safety. We pay them higher than other swim schools, because we want the best. They understand the learning process, and how to apply teaching strategies to the learn-to-swim journey. Many of our teachers have education or child development backgrounds. Some of our teachers specialize in those who learn, behave, or move differently. Others have competitive experience, and can help advance students' skills to the highest levels. We value each teacher's unique personality and style, and encourage them to make swim class fun. All of our teachers know proper swim stroke technique, have had hours of training in our curriculum, and have shadowed more experienced teachers before they're given a class of their own. Finally, we give our teachers regular feedback so they can keep improving their teaching skills.

LifeCycle Teachers' Key Principles

CUSTOMIZE LESSONS

Although our instructors follow our curriculum, we've built in some wiggle room so teachers can leverage each student's strengths. It's part of our SaferSooner philosophy that lets teachers create a smooth learning path for each student.  This strategy boosts confidence, helping each student move forward.

MAXIMIZE PRACTICE TIME

Everyone knows the more you practice, the better you get. It's a life lesson that we leverage during the learn-to-swim process. Our teachers give students lots of practice time. Small class sizes help, but teachers are also trained in class organization strategies that maximize practice time.

GIVE CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK

Our teachers give individual, constructive feedback so that students have specific areas to improve each time they swim. Our teachers show more than tell. They correct body position and gross motor skills first, ensuring that students have the foundation to make refinements later.
