Sabes Swim Academy Testimonials of Success and Satisfaction Gary has three children participating in Log Rolling and Swim Lessons: Joely is a member of the swim team, and her mother had this to say: “Wow, thank you so much for sharing! I have been out of town all week traveling for work and when I came home last night Joely couldn't wait to share her goal note with me. She was so proud of herself and we were so proud and amazed at what she accomplished!!!! I am really impressed with how hard the kids are working and how much they have been accomplishing this season. As you're aware, I am unable to come to practices or pick up Joley to get updates as I'm working but I really appreciate you taking the time to share with me her progress and share with her what a great accomplishment this is. Thanks again!!!!” Lisa Gendler Log Rolling This class is a great way to improve balance, concentration and agility while having a great time practicing a sport that so few have the opportunity to participate.

We are a member of the USA swimming organization. The Rays are a precompetitive/ competitive organization specifically designed for ages 5–18. Currently, we have two different levels of swimming, Rays I and Rays II. Each group has a designated practice/instruction schedule. Register Here. Our pre-competitive group meets from 3:30–4:45 pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. These swimmers are typically between the ages of 5 and 9. This practice is dedicated to teaching swimmers all about the sport of swimming. We will work on all four competitive strokes, refining them using drills and other techniques. Swimmers will also work on other skills related to swimming such as starts from the blocks, flip turns, streamlines, and much more. This practice will swim around 1,000 yards each time we meet, but the focus is primarily on skill acquisition, not distance. If you have a child who is interested in the sport of swimming and wants to get involved, come join us in the pool! Our competitive group meets from 5:45–6:00 p.m. on Mondays and Wednesdays. These swimmers are typically 9 and older, and include junior and high school kids with an interest in keeping in shape during the off junior and high school off season. This group will focus on refining strokes as well, but also beginning to build endurance and strength. A typical practice is between 1,500 and 3,000 yards. We work on all aspects of swimming, incorporating into our practices distance work, sprints, starts turns, skill drills, and much more. If you have a child who is ready to take swimming to the sport level; who is interested in competing, this is the practice to join. **Swimming Ability Second Practice: All swimmers interested in Rays II must be promoted from the Rays I program or may go directly to Rays II with coaches’ approval.
