Welcome to Bulldog Swim Academy
Grow Your Swim Skills
Bulldog Swim Academy offers swimming lessons for toddlers, elementary school children, teens, and adults in Orange and New Haven, CT.
Our Swimming Programs
Bulldog Swim Academy offers swimming lessons for toddlers, elementary school children and adults. We use a self paced, mastery model that allows everyone to learn and grow at their own pace. Classes are small, so that every student receives excellent personal attention. Becoming safe and confident around water and in the pool are the most important skills that our students will learn in all of our programs.
Our Process for Youth Swim Classes
Bulldog Swim Academy uses a perpetual and mastery model. The benefits are:
Enroll and register once; your student continues in classes until they complete all of the levels or you decide to take a break.
Your student is promoted to the next level as soon as they master the skills in the current class, they learn and progress at their own rate.
Our classes have a 4:1 student to instructor ratio, this means a lot of attention and practice every class.
Safety first. Our first priority is to make our students water safe. We give them the skills they need to prevent accidental drowning.
Our classes use Layers and Repetitions to teach. All of the skills they learn are an important part of a bigger, more challenging skill.
