Our Lessons

Swimming Lessons the Olympic Way!

• WEEKEND LESSONS – back by popular demand!
  In addition to our popular weekday swimming lessons, ECC is offering weekend lessons – for the first time ever – for those working families and for whom getting to lessons during the week is difficult. ECC's weekend lessons will be 30 minutes in length and take place on Sunday mornings from June 26 to August 14 (8 weeks). All swim lessons are included in the pool membership.
• At ECC we follow the Olympic Way form of swimming lessons.  The Olympic Way is a dynamic, progressive program that teaches strokes through a logical progression of skills. Its goal is to develop strokes at a competitive level, focusing on front crawl, breaststroke, back crawl and butterfly, while still offering swimmers a fun and educational experience.  There are seven performance levels associated with Olympic Way program:  White, White-Advanced, Green, Blue, Bronze, Silver & Gold.  For more information on the performance criteria associated with each level, please click here.
• White, White-Advanced, Green & Blue courses will consist of 4, 20 minute lessons each week (ie., Monday thru Thursday).
• Bronze, Silver & Gold courses will consist of 2, 40 minute lessons each week (ie., either Monday & Wednesday or Tuesday & Thursday of each week).
• The summer is divided into 2, four week sessions. Report cards will be handed out during the last class of each session.
• For the second session of the summer, lesson times will be similar to those provided during the first session unless otherwise requested.
• A volunteer registration sub-committee will work in conjunction with the Managing lifeguard to form a lessons’ schedule.
• As it is difficult to determine from summer to summer how many children will be registering in each level, our volunteer registration sub-committee will use the prior years’ numbers to establish a base for the current year.
• Most levels of swimming lessons will be offered during each time slot; however, registration for a particular time period will be done on a first come first served basis on Registration Day
