Although interests often change with the boys’ moods and maturity, swimming should be a useful and enjoyable lifelong activity. For this reason, daily swim lessons are a mandatory part of Wildwood’s program.

At the waterfront, boys are taught the essential elements of the five major strokes; elementary back stroke, back crawl, butterfly, breast stroke and crawl. They learn how to breathe, kick and dive properly in daily lessons as they gain confidence with their steady exposure to the water.
