Welcome to Capital City Athletics - Learn to Swim
CCA LTS is a progressive swimming lessons program that teaches young swimmers the foundations of water safety through the essentials for entrance into competitive swim training. Our program consists of four progressive levels, beginning in level 1 with basic water entrance and comfortability, and ending in level 4 with water competency, endurance and basic understanding of the four swimming strokes. Graduation from LTS level 4 results in automatic acceptance into CCA's competitive team, if continued swimming is desired. LTS instructors are experienced and trained swim instructors who work with individual or groups of swimmers to learn necessary skills and abilities in each level.
CCA LTS accepts swimmers as young as 3 years old who are out of diapers through age 18. We offer group lessons consistently and individual/private lessons when instructor and pool access allows. We utilize one of the three Cheyenne High School pool facilities depending on availability, and run lessons at the same time as our younger group of competitive swimmers. While each month could potentially be different due to scheduling needs, holidays, breaks and instructor availability, we strive to provide monthly lessons that are 6 sessions in length, 3 weeks long, 2 sessions per week. Level 1-3 sessions last 30 minutes, level 4 sessions last 60 minutes.
