Your Ultimate Guide to a Splash-Proof Summer: Swim Camps, Scheduling Tips & Poolside Must-Knows
Summer is coming in hot—and for families across the area, that means it’s time to dive into warm-weather plans. Whether you're juggling camps, vacations, or just trying to keep the kids off screens, Katie’s Kickers has your back with flexible swim programs and pro tips to make this your smoothest summer yet.
Plan Ahead Like a Swim Pro
Between beach trips, sports, and family events, summer schedules can get hectic fast. That’s why our summer swim schedule is designed for flexibility with recurring classes, intensive week-long boot camps, and private lessons that can be worked around your family’s busy calendar.
Register early to lock in your ideal days and times before classes fill up!
Why Swim Lessons Beat Traditional Camps
Not every kid thrives at all-day camps, and not every family has the bandwidth to commit to them. Swim lessons offer structure, socialization, and skill-building without the burnout. Just one or two sessions per week can make a major impact on your child’s confidence, safety, and strength in the water, all while keeping summer fun and low-pressure.
What to Bring (and What to Skip)
Keep swim bag prep simple! Essentials include:
- A well-fitted swimsuit (bonus points for chlorine-resistant)
- Towel and labeled water bottle
- Goggles (if your child is used to them)
- Leave the floaties and toys at home. Our instructors provide everything needed for safe and effective lessons.
Pro parent tip: Keep a backup set of everything in the car. You’ll thank us later.
Staying on Track While You Travel
Headed out of town? No worries. We get it, summer isn’t meant to be rigid. Just give us a heads- up and we’ll work with you to reschedule or make up missed sessions when possible. We want your child to succeed without adding any stress to your summer.
Bonus: Backyard & Vacation Pool Safety
More swim time = more responsibility. If you’re headed to a pool or beach this summer, keep
these safety basics in mind:
- Always have a designated adult water-watcher
- Never rely solely on inflatable floatation devices
- Review basic rules before every swim session, even with experienced swimmers
Our blog on Water Safety for Parents has even more helpful tips!
