Item Description

Winning bidder will receive two 25-minute private swim lessons at The Chicago Blue Dolphins Swim Studio located at 2222 N. Elston Ave.

The Chicago Blue Dolphins Swim Studio is a one-of-a-kind environment for rapid delivery of swim instruction and stroke improvement. The Swim Studio is:

  • A Dual-Propulsion Endless Pool for movement isolation, endless repetition and refinement
  • Floor, front and ceiling mounted mirrors for real-time visual feedback
  • Under—and above—water video recording and playback to aid in micro-adjustments to your stroke

The Swim Studio unifies visual, kinesthetic and analytical feedback for the most effective stroke improvement in Chicago.

The Studio has many advantages over a regular pool: you learn new skills faster in the Swim Studio than you would in a regular pool; the Studio caters to everybody’s style of learning; close proximity allows coaches to adjust your stroke while you’re swimming a drill (instead of swimming an entire length of the pool incorrectly); and maybe one of the most popular reasons why it’s better: the water is warm!

Learning how to swim is just like learning something new in school, and everyone learns differently. The Swim Studio environment is designed to teach skills in a way that speaks to all 3 learning styles—analytical, visual and kinesthetic. Most conventional environments either focus on one learning style or combine them in a way that’s disjointed. In the Studio they’ll give you a verbal description of a drill, demonstrate the drill using an underwater camera, adjust your body position when you are doing the drill—while you watch the results real-time in a floor mirror—and show you a clip of yourself to compare against the coach. Such an integrated teaching approach allows you to learn the lessons rapidly and creates a powerful experience for both new and experienced swimmers.
