Tiger Water Swim Lessons

Dive in with a personalized 25-minute swim lesson led by current Occidental College Water Polo student-athletes! These small-group sessions (up to 4 swimmers per instructor) are designed to provide focused, skill-based instruction while still allowing for individual attention. Swimmers will be grouped by similar ability levels, making these lessons ideal for everyone—from beginners building confidence in the water to more experienced swimmers looking to refine their technique.

Led by members of Oxy’s Women's and Men’s Water Polo Team, each lesson offers a fun, supportive, and engaging environment tailored to individual goals. Whether you’re learning the basics or refining your stroke, our athletes bring energy, expertise, and a passion for the sport to every session.

Levels:

• Beginner (Ages 1+): This class is designed to help young swimmers feel comfortable and confident in the water. We focus on water safety, basic movement, and building trust with the instructor in a fun and supportive environment. Swimmers will learn how to float, kick, and begin moving independently through the water with assistance.
• Intermediate (Ages 6+): This level is for swimmers who are comfortable in the water and ready to build foundational skills. Athletes will work on freestyle and backstroke basics, breathing techniques, and improving body position. The goal is to develop stronger, more independent swimmers with better control and confidence.
• Advanced Swim Technique (Ages 8+): This class is geared toward swimmers looking to refine their technique and efficiency. Athletes will focus on stroke development (freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly), starts, turns, and overall conditioning. Great for swimmers preparing for swim team or looking to improve performance in the water.
