Swim lessons at three pools
Natación Tres Albercas teaches children ages 4 to 12 and adults at the pools in San Elizario, Clint and Socorro. Every new swimmer starts with a placement visit in the water. We also serve families in English.
Each swimmer moves up when they are ready, not when the session ends. There are four levels for children and two for adults.
Getting in and out of the pool by the steps
Blowing bubbles with the face in the water
Floating with the instructor's support
Walking along the wall
Moves up when the swimmer follows directions in the water and moves along the wall without help.
Floating face down and face up with support
Kicking while holding a kickboard
Breathing out with the face in the water
Kicking to the wall
Moves up when the swimmer floats for a moment without support and kicks to the wall.
Freestyle with side breathing
Backstroke with a steady kick
Swimming a length in the shallow end
Turning to come back to the wall
Moves up when the swimmer swims two lengths of freestyle and backstroke without stopping.
Breaststroke and basic butterfly
Freestyle and backstroke with good technique
Starts and turns from the edge
Swimming four lengths in a row
Finishes the program when the swimmer swims four lengths in a row in two strokes.
Getting into the water by the ramp or the steps
Breathing to the rhythm of the kick
Floating on the back
Moving around the shallow end
Moves up when the swimmer floats and kicks without support and is comfortable in chest-deep water.
Freestyle with side breathing
Backstroke and breaststroke
Swimming a length without stopping
Breathing calmly while swimming
There is no level after this one: the swimmer stays as long as they want to keep improving.

Tuition depends on the session, the level and how many classes a week the swimmer takes. Each class is 45 minutes, and 60 in the adult levels. We give you the figure by message or at the placement visit, before you decide.
Registration is paid once a season for the family, not for each child. We do it at the placement visit or on WhatsApp.
Your place is held when you choose a time and pay the first part of tuition. If the group is full, we put you on the waitlist and message you as soon as there is room.
If paying for the session is hard, talk to Leocadia, the director, before it starts. We can agree on a longer payment plan, and we talk about it in private.
“The classes are in Spanish and I stay on the bench. The instructor explains everything without hurry.”
“I liked that the placement visit was in the water and not a test. They knew where to place him from the first day.”
“I started as an adult without knowing how to float. In the adult group nobody laughs and nobody rushes.”
