10 Ways Beaver’s Incredible Aquatics Staff makes Swimming Fun and Safe!
Everybody swims every day – and that makes us all very, very happy! Here are some of the many reasons why swimming at Beaver is so awesome:
- Inventing on-the-spot “Bob Stories” to warm up in the pool (ask your camper to demonstrate!)
- Lifeguard rotations every 20 minutes
- Singing catchy and interactive songs like Slippery Fish and The Pirate Song
- Playing fun and interactive games like Motorboat, Swim to Shore and Cannon Fire
- Buddy checks every 10 minutes during free-swims
- Exiting and entertaining names for maneuvers and activities – like Blastoffs, Rocket Ships, and Peanut Butter and Jelly Kicks
- A comfortably-heated teaching pool – along with an awesome wading pool and the much loved “Big Pool”
- Programmatic consideration of camper ages and developmental stages (new this summer: the Dolphin group for advanced Lower Campers swimmers!)
- Super-fantastic pool devices and gadgets for support, instruction, and fun
- Ultra-competent and experienced lifeguards and instructors – who are also friendly, kind and enthusiastic
