Basic Water Rescue Certification

Basic Water Rescue provides parents and caregivers with the knowledge and skills necessary to prevent, recognize, and respond to aquatics emergencies. This course meets the State of California’s water safety certification requirements for foster care and adoptive parents.

Spectrum Swim Program

Students on the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) begin their swim experience with a private lesson.

• Swimmers 3 years and younger: Required to wear a tight fitting reusable cloth swim diaper
• Swimmers 4 years and older: Must be potty trained for the integrity of the pool
• No sunscreen or lotion: Our new facility is indoors, we ask that your student comes without sunscreen or lotion on their skin. Please have your student rinse off in the showers before entering the pool.
• One-piece bathing suits: Mandatory for all female students, including parents
• Tie back long hair: It is mandatory for all swimmers with long hair who are in LTS3 and above to wear a swim cap. If your swimmer is in a lower level we ask that their hair is tied back; swim caps are optional.
• No running & no diving: Safety is one of our top priorities around the pool and as a safety requirement we request that you walk around the pool and enter the water feet first.
• Supervise your child: Our coaching staff’s number one priority is for the safety of all swimmers so we ask you to keep an eye on them too. In partnership with Dr. Mike Allshouse and Valley Children’s Hospital, we are a no cell phone zone and request that you refrain from using your cell phone during your child’s swim class unless you are taking pictures of your swimmer. Please be attentive to your swimmer before, during, and after class.
• Students may be asked to sit out of the pool: If a student begins drinking pool water or coughing excessively during class, which may cause them to vomit due to ingesting pool water or inhaling water through the nose, they will be required to sit out on the side of the pool with the lifeguard for a short time period. This is for their safety and to ensure that everyone can continue swimming in a safe and clean environment.

At the beginning of each class, students will be taught an American Red Cross topic that will educate them on how to be safe in and around the pool. After this, they will start to learn their lesson with a review of skills previously mastered and then begin learning new skills or techniques that will improve their swimming abilities.

If your child is afraid to go under water, we will never force him/her to go under. However, we do encourage everyone to overcome their fears. We have an array of fun and creative ways to help your child achieve mastery over water, from blowing bubbles and diving for toys, to flying through the butterfly stroke. We earnestly seek success for your child! Our swim lessons will help each student learn at a pace that is comfortable, and will help those who may have forgotten the skills they learned last summer to catch up quickly.

To ensure a successful experience for all students at Break the Barriers, a student may be transferred to a class that is more beneficial to them at the discretion of the Director.
