Catch the Wave Swim Club has been setting a new standard for water safety since 2005. The program states that drowning does not have to be a statistic and focuses first on survival and self-rescue techniques such as floating, breath control, and reaching safety, then transitions into traditional swimming strokes. The program tracks 200 skills, offers small class sizes, warm water, and support for anxious swimmers, and describes the experience as stress free.
Catch the Wave Swim Club notes that it is the only survival swim school in Northern Illinois and Southern Wisconsin. The program offers flexible schedule changes for monthly members, flexible makeup classes, and a private lesson rate that stays the same for up to four students. Families can convert makeup credits into a family open swim pass and can use an event calendar for easy sign-up for open swim.
The program lists an Annual Family Enrollment Charge with no re-enrollment fees within the year. It also offers a hassle-free money back guarantee, a Safer Swimmer Guarantee, and a Splash-back Guarantee. Each Catch the Wave Swim Club location dedicates up to $10,000 annually to support local organizations, events, and community outings.
