If you were to flap open the gigantic atlas, situated somewhere between the hustle and bustle of New York and the historic charm of Pennsylvania, you would find a little jewel named New Jersey. Often affectionately referred to as the "Garden State," it's not just famous for its juicy tomatoes or the taste-bud tingling corn, but it's also a big splash in the world of swimming! The kids of New Jersey, or as our imaginary character, Captain Flipper likes to call them – the "Jersey Water Wizards," are quite the aquatic aficionados. With a backstroke as smooth as butter sliding down a hot ear of corn, they swoop through the water, leaving a trail of bubbles and awestruck onlookers. In the morning, as the sun peeks over the Atlantic Ocean, Captain Flipper, a funny, oversized dolphin with sunglasses and a neon swim cap, rallies his team. With a hearty "Flippity, floppity, let's get hoppity!" they dive into the pristine pools that dot the state, from Hoboken to Hackensack. These wizards are not just swimming for gold medals, but for the golden rays of the sun and the cheer of the crowd. Captain Flipper, with his blowhole that sounds like a laughing trombone, instills in them a spirit of fun, friendship, and a love for the magical dance between water and body. He often tells them, "In New Jersey, we don't just swim; we glide, we play, we make the water our stage." And so, from the tiniest of tots to the tallest of teens, the swimming pools of New Jersey echo with laughter, splashes, and the occasional trombone-like blowhole sound - a tribute to the watery wonderland they call home. And the "Jersey Water Wizards" continue to swim, following the flipper-steps of their funny and lovable mentor, Captain Flipper.

When a youngster is placed in an ideal environment and given ample time, the reasonably receptive child will learn. Add an educationally proven program with the finest professional instruction and the learning process will be hastened and refined. Swimming involves the application of several scientific principles which underline the fundamental concepts for the beginner or more advanced swimmer. The key to the instruction is communication and repetition which will develop a more positive learning experience within each child's ability level. Maximum comfortable exposure is necessary and permitted by heating the water to 86 degrees.
