With our new Family Fitness Swim Training program, Macher Swim School is now offering families a fun and healthy way to spend quality time together while getting active! This program allows parents and children to come several times each week to our pool for coached training that emphasizes practice techniques that can maximize swimming efficiency and cardiovascular fitness. Sign up today and spend quality time with your family while encouraging fitness with Macher Swim School.

Benefits for all participants:

1. Develop strength, endurance, flexibility, and stress reduction (physically and mentally)
2. Help provide a wholesome atmosphere strengthening family bonding through fitness training in swimming together
3. Improve swimming skills
4. Improve knowledge of fitness development through swimming
5. Make contacts with other families with similar interests
6. Use swimming as a personal ‘retreat’ for improved mental health.  Swimming can uniquely provide this opportunity in some of the following ways:
• While swimming, one’s face is in the water, cutting them off from out-side stimulation. (vision and hearing) 
• By reducing distractions, the swimmer is able to focus on their own concerns and problem-solve, let-go of problems, plan events, ‘think’, or let their mind wonder. 
• Making a commitment to train regularly is important.  Recommended minimum frequency is twice per week.

Eligibility:

1. Be able to swim 50 yards or more without stopping

3. Be members of the same immediate family or close relative
