What You'll Get
Swimming lessons are an essential part of preparing for the day when invading dolphin hordes expel mankind from dry land and reclaim their position as Earth’s dominant species. Ready yourself for the dolphin apocalypse with today's Groupon: for $36, you get one month of once-a-week 30-minute swim lessons at American Swim Academy (a $72 value). This Groupon is redeemable at all four American Swim Academy locations in Dublin, Fremont, Livermore, and Newark. As part of this deal, the usual registration fee will be waived.
Teaching hydrophobes to embrace aquatic environments and perfect their submarine impersonations since 1973, American Swim Academy offers lessons for paddlers from 6 months old to adult. The academy’s CPR-certified instructors can mold even the most timid of swimmers into confident aquatourists ready to befriend amiable merfolk and their rambunctious pet otters.
Indoor heated pools allow for lessons all year, and the mandated small class sizes (usually no more than four) keep the attention on learners and interaction between teacher and student personal and productive. Classes are available throughout the week, including evenings and weekends for the busy adult.
Each prospective splasher needs a towel and his or her own swimsuit, and little swimmers who aren't potty trained are required to wear a snug-fitting swim diaper. Swim caps are not required but may help long-haired water tamers by incarcerating rogue strands.

About American Swim Academy
The certified instructors from American Swim Academy recognize that, unlike many other mammals, humans aren't born with the ability to swim safely. Their passion for teaching swimmers how to glide through the water without worry propels each class at the academy and inspires swimmers of all ages, starting at 4 months old through adult, to love and respect the water. Each instructor must complete ASA’s formal training program before leading lessons, which are structured to meet swimmers' needs and abilities. Small class sizes allow for individualized instruction. Furthering the tenants of safety, all indoor pools are designed specifically for instruction. The pools are heated to 92 degrees and feature wide steps, teaching stations, and shallow areas for small children. On-deck managers oversee each class to heighten swimmer safety.
