The Adult Swim Program is designed to help individuals progress through three levels of swimming: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. Each level is focused on building water confidence, enhancing stroke technique, and improving overall swimming endurance. Swimmers will develop a solid foundation, refine their skills, and be prepared for more advanced training.
Program Structure
We offer three levels of swimming programs designed for customization, tailored to each participant’s individual needs and goals. These programs are structured to adapt to the rate of progress and learning style of each swimmer, ensuring a personalized experience:
- Marina’s Swim Beginner: Perfect for beginners, this program introduces the fundamental skills required to build swimming proficiency.
- Marina’s Swim Intermediate: For swimmers who have mastered the basics and are ready to further develop their strokes, increase swimming distances, and improve proficiency.
- Marina’s Swim Advanced: For advanced swimmers looking to refine their techniques and gain advanced fitness through targeted stroke development
