[email protected]CLASS DESCRIPTIONS
School Age ~ Taught skills based on ability, from beginner to advanced, with a focus on endurance and proper freestyle technique. Instructor to student ratio varies based on levels – students are grouped accordingly. Average ratio is 1-3 or 1-4.
Ages 3-6 - Taught the basics of swimming, from beginner to more advanced, with a focus on proper body position while swimming and increasing water endurance. Instructor to student ratio will be 1-3. Submersion (with proper bubble blowing technique), proper arm and leg position, and confidence are the primary focus.
Parent Child ~ Parent child is a parent or guardian in the pool with the child, ages 6 months – 3 years. Through songs, games, and activities, teaches an introduction to safety, basic movements, and that swimming is fun!
Intro to Competitive Swimming is designed for those that are able to swim at least 2 widths of the pool, unassisted, regardless of age. They will be taught the basics of freestyle and backstroke, and introduced to breaststroke and butterfly, as well as diving and flip turns. Instructor to student ratio will vary, but it is a low class size. Please inquire if interested in this class, as it is offered based on need.
What do I need to bring to lessons? Nothing special! A suit and towel! Goggles are permitted at ALL levels, but only WITHOUT a nosepiece so that proper breath control can be taught!
We have lockers rooms available, plus family friendly bathrooms on deck!!
OPEN/FAMILY/LAP SWIM:
Cost will be $1 for students and seniors over 55, and $2 for adults, or $5 per family during family swim (must have parents present and swimming). The days change with the season and month, so check the website often! One to two lap lanes are available at this time for lap swimming only for adults over age 18 or for any member of the JV or Varsity swim teams. For OPEN swim, all children under 12 must be accompanied by a parent, guardian, or SIBLING of at least high school age, but they do not need to swim.
ADULT /LAP SWIM
2-3 lanes (depending on crowd) will be available for lap swimming while the other side of the pool is available for exercising or general recreation. Please check calendar for information. Adult swim is open to those over 18 or to any VARSITY/JV swim team member for training purposes.
SWIM TEAM INFORMATION
West Mifflin proudly sponsors both a middle school (JV) and high school (Varsity) swimming program for students in 7th through 12th grades.
Our middle school team competes in September and October every year, and our varsity season runs November through February, plus WPIAL and PIAA Championships (for those qualifying) and various off season opportunities.
From 2011-2014 West Mifflin was represented at PIAA Championships each year and was represented again in 2016, and boasts a back-to-back WPIAL Champion in the Boys' 100 Yard Butterfly for 2013 and 2014, as well as a 2014 WPIAL Champion in the 100 back! Brad also went on to finish second in the state of Pennsylvania in the 100 fly in 2014! Brad is now a Westminster University graduate where he swam all 4 years (still a Titan!), as so many of our athletes go on to represent us at the collegiate level.
The Girls' Team was also the 2015-2016 Section Champions, making them back-to-back-to-back-to-back (4-PEAT!) section champs that year!!
AS PER DISTRICT POLICY WE STILL DO NOT ACCOMMODATE POOL PARTIES.
