# How do swim lessons work?

## ESF Camps

In both the Mini and Intermediate Divisions, campers dive right in—no floaties needed! They team up with 1–2 buddies and get personalized instruction from a certified lifeguard. On their first day, we check each camper’s comfort and skills in the water, then let them splash, learn, and improve at their own pace. By Friday, you’ll get a progress report to see all the waves they’ve made!

At certain sites, we offer individualized swim lessons after camp. You can mark your indication in the camper checklist if your site offers the lessons!
