Swim
Lessons
 We
offer swim lessons for infants to adults. All of our classes are taught
by certified American Red Cross instructors, and each participant is encouraged
to progress at their on pace. Class size is kept small to maximize instruction.
Each class needs at least 3 pre-registered students but there are no more
than 8 students in any given class. Excluding our "Infant/Toddler"
and "Adult Beginner" classes, all others are divided into two
categories. For most children ages 3-5 our "Pre-School" category
of classes will suit their needs. For older swimmers, 6-12, our "Level"
category will be the best place to look for instruction to suit their swimming
needs. For your convenience, course descriptions and class schedules are
posted on this web site under "Schedules."

Swim Team
New South Swimming Swim Team of Charlotte is one of the finest
comprehensive  swimming
programs in the area. This program offers excellent aquatic instruction
and competitive swimming programs to members of the Monroe Aquatics and
Fitness Center. In order to better serve the skill level of every interested
swimmer, New South consists of 2 teams. The "Swim Team" is for
swimmers who have the skills and motivation to compete and train in a challenging
program that meets his/her individual needs and goals. This program focuses
on the benefits of a year round program such as technique, racing skills
and aerobic conditioning in a positive social environment. "Pre-Team"
is designed for those swimmers 7 and older who can not proficiently swim
one lap of all four racing stokes (breast, back, free and butterfly) but
have the heart and desire of an Olympian. Emphasis is on stroke development
in preparation for the Swim Team. As part of the camaraderie and team work
instilled in all New South swimmers, Pre-Team practice times are scheduled
on Tuesday and Thursday during the same time as New South Swimming Swim
Team. |
