The Bluefish swim school uses a station teaching method, breaking swimming into the core components, allowing swimmers to master one component at a time. This method allows students to progress at their own rate. Each level has a defined lesson plan testing student’s skills and progress during every class. Once the swimmer has mastered a station’s skills they graduate to the next level. Our student to instructor - ratios are small and vary by level. Our stations are divided into three programs Toddler, Preschool and Children.

A critical element that enables our swimmers to succeed is our staff. The Bluefish have assembled a staff of trained and enthusiastic people. It is their commitment and passion for teaching children and their love of swimming that is essential in creating an environment where swimmers thrive and progress quickly. All instructors undergo a rigorous training program to ensure quality and consistency in all our lessons. Program Director Christie Batchelor was a competitive swimmer for thirteen years. She has been coaching and instructing swim lessons for 10 years. Christie comes to the Bluefish with a proven track record.
