Swim Lesson Program-2011...

Our goal at Howell Pointe Swim Club is to teach your child techniques that will help them feel comfortable and enjoy the water safely.  Students will learn elementary water skills which they can build on as they progress through various levels.  The guidelines below, along with our instructor’s evaluations, will help place your child in the appropriate age/skill level group.
