Based on Red Cross skills and levels, the Sewataro Swim Program is a vital part of the overall camp program. Campers swim twice a day, once for instructional swim and once for free swim. We strive to develop our campers' swimming proficiency to the best of their abilities. Our well-trained waterfront staff of over 20 lifeguards and swim instructors, led by four vigilant supervisors, teach children the skills they need to learn to swim and become stronger, more confident swimmers whatever their level. They also oversee the fun at free swim. Our waterfront staff is composed of American Red Cross certified lifeguards, and additional swim instructors, who undergo extensive training by our waterfront supervisors. For lessons, campers are grouped by ability. All campers' swimming ability will be assessed at the start of their session. After placing children in their appropriate swim groups, we utilize the pond and the pools for swim instruction and free swim. For free swim, campers will enjoy the water while they are carefully guarded. During free swim, camper groups are placed based on height so all campers can stand comfortably. During swim lessons, swim groups are placed depending on level and height of the group. After camp gets underway, you will receive email notification of your child's initial swim grouping. A progress report will be emailed to you at the end of your child's session. In addition, 6 and 8 week campers will receive progress reports at the half-way point of their session. If you are interested in receiving more detailed information about your child's progress at any time, we strongly encourage you to call to speak with a Waterfront Supervisor. Anytime you do not want your child to go in the water, please send an email to [email protected] or note addressed "No Swim."
