Swim Basics

A month long swim class designed for those who can comfortably swim the length of a pool (25 yds), but want to improve their level of swimming to include better breathing and freestyle stroke technique.

Swim Basics is held in a small group environment.  Individuals are evaluated at the beginning of each class and may be placed in one of two skill levels: Beginning Freestyle or Intermediate. Intermediate swimmers will build on their current swimming skills by learning more advanced freestyle techniques, interval swim sets, pace clock training and much more. At Swim Basics you will:

  • Learn the sequence of steps to put together a whole freestyle: balance streamlining, kick, propulsion and breathing at your own pace
  • Build endurance
  • Learn turns, drills and short swim sets
  • Improve confidence to swim in a masters swim program, open water and triathlon events

All classes offered monthly at the "Texins Activity Center" in Dallas (LBJ and I-75 area) and include 8 one hour sessions. The cost: $160

You may Register online or call the office at 214.219.2300.
