Before man conquered his fear of water, he amused himself with dust sports such as pushing boulders off cliffs, wrestling tumbleweeds, and falling in the dust. Boldly embrace liquid with today's Groupon: for $40, you get eight group swimming lessons at Catch the Wave Swim Club in South Beloit. While classes are currently held at three different locations in the Rockford-Beloit area, the club will open a new, permanent facility with a 90 degree heated pool in South Beloit in April 2011.

Catch the Wave Swim Club's team of Red Cross– and CPR-certified instructors teaches swimming novices to tread waters soundly and skillfully. The club hosts year-round classes, with class sizes limited to four children at most to ensure attention and curb any desire for them to leave class to form a basketball team. During each 30-minute splash session (held twice per week over a month at a variety of times), instructors skim children over shallow waters like dainty dinghies, schooling them on human yachting techniques and basic water safety. Like all American marriages, class enrollment is ongoing and open.

About Catch the Wave Swim Club

Owner Debbie Stoffregen has taught children to swim for more than 15 years, a background that helped her develop Catch the Wave Swim Club's unique instructor training program, which gave him the possibility to specialize in survival swim lessons for all ages, including adults. Stoffregen only mints adult teachers and personally coaches them once they have achieved certifications in Red Cross CPR, lifeguarding, AED, and first aid. Instructors teach water safety with compassion, creating a family-like atmosphere to help adults overcome their fears, introduce infants as young as three months old (accompanied by a guardian) to the warm, 90-degree pool, and acclimate adolescents to their newly sprouted gills. Surrounded by healthy, confident swimmers, Stoffregen realized the sport could be used as a therapeutic intervention, and created classes for special-needs individuals and those desiring a low-impact way to stay fit.

The instructor my son has is great with not only him but the other kids in the class. They really make an effort to get to know you and your child which is always welcoming.

My husband & I enjoyed the class & the instructor tremendously. Spoke highly about our instructor, Jacob, to our family & friends. However, the hours are not flexible. I had to make classes within a month,one class each week. When I originally made the schedule, I didn't take into account the holidays & my husband's school schedule. I ended up working extra hours & my husband had to study for his finals, then we left town for the holidays. I'd also like to mention that we were interested in trying the swim classes out to expose my daughter to a new activity. But, I felt like we were pressured to take more classes. Instead of completing the course & deciding on our own to further the classes. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves & would wholeheartedly recommend it; however, I would give a heads-up when I recommended it to my family or friends.
