LIQUID MEDALS

Group Classes for Children Ages 6-12 Years

OUR APPROACH AND OUR WHY

At Liquid Lifestyles, we understand that every child's journey into swimming excellence is as unique as they are. That's why we're proud to introduce our Liquid Medals program, designed for pre-competitive and competitive swimmers who are ready to take their skills to the next level.

Our Liquid Medals program builds on the success of our Liquid Bubbles curriculum, offering three levels of progressive training for pre-competitive and competitive swimmers.

  • Liquid Bronze: The foundation of our competitive swimming program, Liquid Bronze focuses on refining technique and building endurance, setting the stage for future success.

  • Liquid Silver: As swimmers progress to Liquid Silver, they dive deeper into stroke refinement and race preparation, honing their skills for competitive success.

  • Liquid Gold: The pinnacle of our program, Liquid Gold prepares swimmers for elite-level competition, focusing on advanced techniques, mental preparation, and goal-setting strategies.

EXCELLENCE IN MOTION

SMALL CLASS SIZES - BIG RESULTS

Research shows that the size of the class matters, especially for children who may have anxieties or past negative experiences in the water. That's why all our classes are conducted in a semi-private format, with just two swimmers per coach. This personalized attention ensures quicker progress and a more enjoyable learning experience, even in our advanced classes.

CUSTOMIZED SKILL PROGRESSIONS

Our classes run year-round with minimal schedule changes, giving you the freedom to enroll your child at any time that suits you. Once you've chosen a time slot, it's yours to keep until your child is ready to move on to the next level. We believe in a flexible approach that prioritizes your child's individual journey, advancing them when they demonstrate proficiency and mastery of skills.

Unlike programs with predetermined lesson quotas, we focus on your child's readiness and progression, advancing them only when they're truly prepared for the next stage. Our commitment to quality means that whether it's your child's first day or they're ready to conquer new challenges, you're in control of their swimming adventure.

At Liquid Lifestyles, swimming isn't just a skill – it's a passion we're eager to share with every member of our community. We invite you to witness the difference firsthand by attending a trial class or dropping by to observe our expert coaches in action.

Have questions? We're here to help! Contact us to learn more about our approach, schedule, and how we can help your child achieve their swimming goals.

Join us at Liquid Lifestyles, where swimming excellence meets personalized attention, and let's dive into a lifetime of aquatic achievement together. 🌊🏊‍♀️
