About
Lu’s Swim School offers swim lessons, private and semi private swim lessons, group swim classes, and kids swimming lessons that include both water safety instruction and stroke development. Younger children and their caregivers can join the Water Babies (Parent and Me Class), which includes starfish floats, safe under water submersion, and fun songs and activities. As swimmers progress, they move through levels such as Starfish, Pufferfish, Turtle, Snappers, Leatherbacks, and Terrapins, practicing skills like starfish floats, freestyle and breaststroke “pizza arms” and “ice cream scoopers,” elementary backstroke, treading water, diving, and flip turns, with beginner and intermediate swim team participation recommended for advanced students.
• Ages: 0–18 years old
• Schedule: Each lesson is 30 minutes in length, and lessons are organized into 2 week sessions with the same instructor.
The Starfish (Level 1 – Water Safety) level focuses on holding breath for 3–5 seconds, starfish floats for 5–10 seconds, 3 pizza arms for breaststroke, 4 ice cream scoopers for freestyle, and elementary backstroke with support. Pufferfish (Level 2 – Water Safety) includes 3 pizzas and 4 ice cream scoopers underwater, a 10 second starfish float, and elementary backstroke with minimal support. Turtle (Level 3 – Water Safety) adds combining 3 pizzas and a float using the swim and float method, jumping into the deep end and swimming safely back to the wall, doing 3 sets of elementary backstroke, treading water for 30 seconds, understanding healthy boundaries of water, knowing what to do if stuck in a current, and how to wear a lifejacket.
Snappers (Level 4 – Stroke Development) focuses on freestyle with side breathing for 15 yards, backstroke for 15 yards, a sitting dive, and shallow angle diving. Leatherbacks (Level 5 – Stroke Development) includes breaststroke and butterfly for 15 yards, kneeling and standing dives, an underwater summersault (flip turn), and shallow angle diving. Terrapins (Level 6 – Stroke Development) includes freestyle and backstroke for 25 yards with flip turns, breaststroke and butterfly for 25 yards with open turns, standing and racing dives, and shallow angle diving. Once level 5 or 6 is completed, students are described as ready to try out for swim team, and stroke development students in levels 5 and 6 are encouraged to continue on a swim team to become stronger swimmers, with Coach Lu able to recommend competitive and non-competitive swim team options; swim team is described as a year round program but “NOT” a year round commitment.
Water Babies (Parent and Me Class) includes one adult and the child in the water together, and there is an option to register for a private parent and me class if the Water Babies group class is full. Families can also choose to share a private lesson with a friend and update to semi-private lessons. The program offers small class sizes, no membership required, flexible scheduling, and shorter sessions, with classes grouped by age and skill level. The program’s stated philosophy is that large group classes are not ideal for beginners, and it recommends starting with private or semi private lessons for children with fear of water, anxiety, or who are described as stubborn.
Each instructor is trained to work with all skill levels and ages, from babies and toddlers to older children and adults, and instructors are described as experts in water safety awareness. Staff undergoes continuous training in stroke development, child psychology, and emergency response, and instructors are described as mentors and motivators who bring passion, patience, and professionalism to every class. Progress is closely monitored and parents receive regular updates. The leadership team includes Coach Lu and Luan, and Coach Lu states, “Everybody Deserves the Opportunity to Learn How to Swim.” The mission statement for Lu’s Swim School is that swimming is considered one of the most important life skills to learn and that water safety is the top priority.
Community members describe Coach Lu and her team as some of the nicest people in the community. Parent testimonials describe experiences such as a five year old going from floundering to swimming breaststroke in two weeks, older children thinking about or starting swim team, and children enjoying lessons with coaches like Coach Kyle. Multiple families state that they recommend Coach Lu and her school and that several of their children have learned to swim there over multiple years.
