Swim With Donna Swim School offers both individual and small group swim lessons. Our Fall/Winter classes we will be held at the Holiday Inn Express-Cumming, which is located off GA 400 at exit 14 (Buford/ Highway 20). It is conveniently located at the Marketplace next to Lowes.

Swim With Donna Swim School uses a technique-based progression program for teaching swim lessons. Swim With Donna Swim School is simple, goal motivated, and technique based. The program is a logical progression of swimming skills that teaches a child or adult to swim correctly and efficiently. Our primary goal is to teach students how to be safe in and around the water.

We believe that each child learns at his own pace. We offer four types of classes:
  • Private (1:1) - Most of our lessons are on a one-to-one student/instructor ratio. Students develop a one-on-one relationship with instructors, creating an atmosphere of trust that makes learning more effective.

  • Semi-private (2:1) - These lessons are great for families or friends that have two students around the same age and skill level who want to learn together. The instructor works at the pace of both children, guiding them through the progression of Swim With Donna levels.

  • Group (3:1) - These lessons are perfect for families and friends that have three or more students around the same age and skill level who are looking for a more economical alternative. The instructor works at the pace of the group, guiding them through the progression of Swim With Donna levels. The maximum number of students that we can have in the pool at a time is six. The student/teacher ratio remains 3:1.

  • Mommy and Me (3:1) - There must be one parent/caregiver per child in the water. This is a water adaptation class. It is not a “drown proofing” class. It is a wonderful class for helping to make your child comfortable in the water. It helps prepare children for the next step—swimming without Mom or Dad. It is not our intention to teach these children to swim. We use a gentle, loving approach to introduce swimming skills to our youngest students. We work with the parent to introduce basic swimming skills such as breath control, submersion, kicking, reaching, back float, and safety. Gentle submersions are introduced when the child is relaxed and ready. We use a structured program of songs, games, and fun activities to teach you and your child.
Swim Diaper Policy: All students 3 and under must wear a reusable swim diaper – No Exceptions. Older students that are not 100% potty-trained must also wear a reusable swim diaper. We consider a child 100% potty-trained when they no longer need a diaper during naptime or bedtime. A disposable swim diaper may be worn under the reusable diaper for extra protection.

All instructors are trained to teach the Swim With Donna method, using praise, patience and persistence. This provides each student with a positive learning experience.

Group lessons are scheduled in sessions of 8 lessons; each class is 30, 45, or 60 minutes. The 60 minute classes are for the more advanced students. To form a group the students should be in one of the following age groups:

Ages:
*Mommy and Me,: 6 months – 17 months and 18 – 36 months
 Preschool: 3 – 5 years
 Grade School: 6 – 8 years and 9 – 12 years
 Teens: 13 – 17 years.
 Adult: 18 and up.

Other ages may be combined to make a group depending on the maturity and swimming ability of the students.
