Fall 2022

Fall 2022

Hi swim families!

Please notice that I have a new email address. The last one went dark with little explanantion for 3 weeks so I had to switch quickly.

NEW: islandcoopers@protonmail.com

Swim Lessons:

I am teaching a few lessons but unfortunately I just don't have enough spaces for the demand. I am so sorry about that.

I am not doing a wait list at this time as it gets filled with hopeful then disappointed folks. Kids tend to stay in my program until they can swim, so the turnover is slow.

I am planning on offering a class where parents can learn how to begin teaching their kids some basic swimming skills. Let me know if you are interested! 

Thank you!

Kathy

Swim:2022

Hi Swim Families!

Currently we are offering a fun water experience just for you and your family!

PLEASE NOTE: I am currently NOT teaching swim lessons and I am not doing a wait list at this time for individual lessons.

The yurt pool is now available for rent. $65 / hour

Payment is due before or on the day of your rental time.

Here's how it works:

for 1 hour you and your family will have the pool and yurt all to yourselves (besides me right outside in the covered porch ). You are welcome to use our equipment during your time. 

Please note that changing is part of the hour so allow yourselves 5 to 10 minutes to do that.

If you have been visiting with another family and would like to split the cost of the hour, that's fine and is up to you.

Please limit it to 6 swimmers at one time. Adults must be in the water if you have kids who have not passed the BIAC Swim Test or don't know how to swim on their own yet.

Please note that this has been a therapy/teaching pool. It has a soft plastic liner so we ask everyone to be gentle with our pool so it can last a long time.

*no jumping or diving from ladder, enter slowly into the pool

*no excessive splashing or rough housing

The pool area will be sanitized in between groups.

There will be a limited number of spots available per week. 

Payment:

Checks or cash are welcomed. If you are unable to make it to your reserved time, please give me 24 hours notice so I can put another family in your place and refund you if you have already paid.

I am unable to refund if you don't come or let me know.

To sign up or to ask more questions,  text or email Kathy. 

Thanks so much!

The yurt pool is located at 164 Knechtel Way, right off Madison Ave, same side of the road as Helpline House.

Sorry, not taking any new swimmer requests at this time


Hi families,
Due to an overabundance of requests, I cannot take any more requests until I can get control of my waitlist. I am just one person teaching 100+ kids a week. I really wish I had more time to teach everyone but that is not the case.
Thank you SO much for your understanding,
Kathy

Hi everyone!

This is through my private swim school, not through the Park District.
My current swimmers have the option of choosing times first, then I will open my schedule to new families.

Why am I waiting so long for lessons?

Hi Families,
Many of you have requested to be put on my wait list for swim lessons. I would love to be able to teach everyone who requests lessons but that's just not possible. I currently teach over 100 students a week.
These students start with me at a beginner level and leave my program when they pass the BIAC swim test. So you can see it is a process.
I am prioritizing older children first. These are the new beginner students who have fallen through the cracks of learning how to swim for one reason or another. These kids learn quickly and will be able to move through my program rapidly.

If your child is nearing 5 years old or older, please contact me to be put on the wait list. I am not adding younger students to the wait list at this time ( under 4 years old). The families who have already contacted me are on my list.

Thank you for your patience,
Kathy

Waiting for a Spot!

Hi Everyone!
A lot of you have been requesting lessons. THANK YOU so much for trusting me to teach your kids  this valuable life skill!
Let me explain how my program works so you don't think I am ignoring your requests!
Children start with me at the warm salt water yurt pool as beginners or almost beginners with none to low skills.
Swimmers stay with me until 1 of 2 things happen: the parents decide to leave the program or the child learns how to swim.
Once the child "graduates" from the yurt pool, they can transition with me as their instructor (through my independent program) to the aquatic center. At this time, they have all the necessary skills to go right into the deep end of the pool and can start learning about technique and endurance.
Happily, I have a lot of yurt graduates! And most of them wait until I have a spot for them at the aquatic center to transition. Therefore, I DO NOT take any NEW students directly to the aquatic center.
I teach approx. 101 students per week. It's only when one of these kids leave my program that I actually have an opening, which brings me back to your requests.

Thanks so much for your patience,
Kathy

The Importance Of Underwater Exhalation

Improving exhalation technique feels so good because:

- It rids the lungs and blood stream of CO2, the build-up of which is what leads to feelings of tension or even panic. Blow the CO2 out into the water and your swimming will feel much more relaxed.
- It makes swimming more aerobic by improving the gas exchange in your lungs.
- It means that when you do go to breathe, you only have to inhale, not exhale and inhale in the short window available to you.
- It reduces the buoyancy in your chest which helps keep your buoyancy balanced, bringing your legs up higher towards the surface.

Exhaling into the water sounds very basic but many swimming instructors have overlooked how important it is for good swimming technique. Try holding your breath for a few seconds while running or cycling and see just how bad it feels! This same principle applies to swimming.

SCHEDULE for BI Aquatic Center Classes on FRIDAYS and SUNDAYS

These times are for “yurt graduates” who are transitioning with me to the aquatic center. I’ll let you know if your child is ready to move to BIAC if you don't already have that info.
3 students max per class and pricing is the same as yurt classes.
Due to the high demand for lessons at BIAC with me, yurt graduates get first priority. If your child has passed the BIAC Swim Test and I feel they are strong and ready to integrate into the public program, your child may need to exit my program to make room for incoming yurt graduates.

Here’s all you need to do:
1.Choose if you'd like to come on Fridays or Sundays.

2.Select the dates you can come when you register. You are responsible for payment on the dates you select.  Payment is due by the first lesson of each session and reserves your spot in my schedule.
EACH CLASS is $20.

3. Select the time of day you’d like to have your lesson. Please give me a 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice. (As people sign up, fewer times will be available).

4. Email me (islandcoopers@serv.net) as soon as you have made your selections as classes fill quickly.

January/February Swim Session 2015

Hi everyone!

Winter swim lessons will start the week of January 6, 2015.
 My swim program starts with students who learn to swim comfortably at the yurt pool first, then "graduate" and go with me to the larger pool at the aquatic center, where they learn to swim in deep  water and continue with stroke refinement. This is under my private swim school, not through the Park District.
Current swimmers have the option of choosing times first, then I will open the schedule to new families.  I follow the public school calendar for holidays, etc.




YURT POOL    (for new and newer swimmers)
   BIAC swimmers scroll down...
3 students max per class
Here’s all you need to do:

  1. Choose which day(s) you'd like a lesson: Tuesdays or Wednesdays.
  2. Select the time you’d like to have your lesson. Please give me a 1st, 2nd and 3rd choice. As people sign up, fewer times will be available.
  3. Let me know if you’d like to have a lesson with a particular group of kids (i.e. neighbors, carpooling friends, etc). Each family must email me separately.
  4. Email me (islandcoopers@serv.net) as soon as you have made your selection as classes fill quickly.
  5. Include as many details about your child, schedule etc. I am detail oriented and want to make your scheduling as smooth as possible.
  6. After I have put you in my swim schedule, I will be emailing you a confirmation and  invoice.
  7. Please pay for session's tuition before or on the first day of class.
A quick reminder about session tuition: I charge by the session, not by the lesson. Your payment secures your spot in my schedule.
