Is your family taking a summer trip? Are your children enrolled in summer school? No need to worry! During the summer months, in addition to our weekly classes, Swimtastic also offers swim camps. Swim camps are great for children who have too busy of a summer schedule to attend weekly lessons. They’re also offered to children who will still be attending weekly lessons, yet are seeking extra time with an instructor to refine their skills. Here is everything you need to know about Swimtastic’s summer swim camps:
Who: Current Swimtastic students as well as children who have never attended Swimtastic lessons before. Swim camps are available to children of all ages, at every skill level!
What is taught: The swim camps are taught in progression, and are very similar to our semester-to-semester classes. The primary focus of our swim camps places a large emphasis on consistency; the specific skills that are taught vary depending on your child’s age and skill level, comparable to our weekly lessons.
When: Camps are offered in two week blocks, with classes every day, Monday - Friday, each running 25-30 minutes. Students are able to enroll in multiple swim camps throughout the summer to maximize consistency, progression, and skill development! Contact your local Swimtastic for location-specific camp dates.
Why: Camps are a great way to continue to progress as a swimmer during the summer, especially if the student isn’t able to attend the full semester. If your child is attending weekly lessons during the summer, it acts as a fun and very beneficial supplement. Camps do a fantastic job of creating consistency and progression for students. Not to mention the flexibility for parents to be able to choose the camp(s) that fit into your busy summer schedule.
Swimtastic Swim School is currently accepting enrollment into our summer swim camps. To sign up or for more information simply call us at 888-549-SWIM (7946).

We just returned from viatacon in Hawaii and we bought a Ukulele for our souvenir. Little did I know that my husband and I would start fighting over who gets to practice the four chords next. I have always played around on the piano. Both daily for two weeks, we have shared the Ukulele and done our chord practice.We would like to learn Simple Songs to start with. Like Twinkle Twinkle (haha) put with print outs like regular music with the song written out and the chord above the change areas. I am not sure I am making sense. But, we would like to print and practice inbetween your lessons.Keep it up and we hope if we both get high way decent to order an extra ukulele.

Hey Amos,People usually tune down for a few roenass. They're either looking to make the strings easier to bend, to fatten up their sound, or to make the songs lower and more easily singable. I use and tune down to Eb for all three of the above roenass. Your friend probably went to 13 s to keep the same feel as the 11 s with the now decreased tension. Also, the bigger the stings you use the more metal thats over the pickup, the bigger the sound, which is noticeable. I don't recommend going that heavy unless you work up to it- I used to play 13 s tuned down and it was much, much harder than playing a set of 10 s( ) in standard tuning. Those are the pros. The biggest con is every time you go to play with someone else and tell them you're tuned down they'll look at you like you just shot Oprah. However, if you have a good grasp of barre chords, flat keys and or a capo (I use a ) you can probably get away without telling anyone! As far as the bass on your amp goes, it will make your sound a little darker, but it won't do anything to the feel of the guitar.Standard Tuning has only been the standard for 50 or 60 years- there are tons of tunings out there, and a half step down is one of the most popular. I say try it!Play on!
