SUMMER SWIM LESSONS AND NOVICE TEAM 2026

Build Skills, Confidence, and Friendships This Summer!

Whether your child is taking their first strokes or ready to refine competitive techniques, the Makos Summer Swim Lessons and Novice Team offers the perfect blend of expert instruction and summer fun. Our experienced coaches create a supportive, energetic environment where swimmers of all abilities can thrive.

Watching Swimmers Discover Their Potential Never Gets Old

Our Summer Lessons program is my favorite time of year because I get to see swimmers transform right before my eyes. Some kids start out clinging to the wall, and by week five they're racing their friends and asking to learn butterfly. What makes this program special is the relaxed atmosphere combined with real skill development. We keep it fun and positive while teaching proper technique that sets them up for success. The swim meet is always amazing because every single swimmer gets to shine, no matter their level. Seeing a beginner complete their first 25 freestyle or an advanced swimmer nail their first flip turn makes it all worthwhile!

2025 Makos Summer Program Coach

Best Summer Decision We Ever Made!

Our daughter went from being afraid to put her face in the water to diving off the blocks in just five weeks! The Makos coaches created such a positive, encouraging environment. She learned all four strokes, made great friends, and the end-of-summer meet was the highlight of her year. Watching her beam with pride as she competed was priceless. The confidence she gained in the pool has carried over into everything she does. We're already signed up for 2026!
