Summer Swim School
SCHOOL-YEAR SWIM SCHOOL
Our school-year swim lessons (Fall, Winter, and Spring) run in three-week sessions, with a one-week break between each.
We offer two main programs based on age and skill level:
Little Fish
Designed for ages 3–4, this program focuses on foundational water safety and beginner swim skills. Swimmers progress through three levels before either aging into the next group or completing the prerequisites to move up.
Big Fish
For swimmers ages 5–12, this program builds on water safety and introduces stroke technique. There are six levels in total. Once a swimmer completes Level 5 and receives an evaluation from Coach Seeber, they are eligible to join our Swim Training Group.

Swim School Information: Burkwood's group swim lessons are designed to meet the needs of a variety of ability levels. First and foremost, we want to teach children how to be comfortable in an aquatic environment, be safe in an aquatic environment, and develop a love for the water. For those who are interested in pursuing participation in competitive swimming, the upper-level classes focus on the development of all four of the competitive strokes. Classes are held during the week with afternoon and evening options while school is in session, and morning and afternoon options in the summer. We maintain a student-teacher ratio of no more than 4:1 for the Level 1 and Level 2 beginner classes and no more than 6:1 for the more advanced Level 3-6 classes.
Questions: are better asked to the Assistant Aquatics Director, Megan Morrison, at [email protected] or give us a call at (804)730-2472.

Burkwood offers group, semi-private, and private lessons all year round for members and non-members.
Private / Semi-Private Lessons
Private Lesson Registration Form
With private and semi-private lessons, the instructor will focus on the specific needs of the swimmer and provide individualized instruction, usually leading to a faster learning process. Private lessons are suggested when the swimmer may not work well in a group environment, when their age and skill level is not a good fit for group lessons, or when the individual has one or two specific swimming skills that need to be taught.
