LASS uses the Water Balance Method- getting kids comfortable creating a horizontal body position, that will allow them to master the art and athleticism of bending the water to create the best techniques for positive forward motion.

* Our teachers physically assist the body and mind in forming new syntax connections in the brain that will create the opportunity for the child to one day fully direct their body in a smooth efficient manner to a desired target, in any aquatic environment

* To go the longest possible distance holding their breathe in a variety of stroke formats

* Develop the strength and coordination to replace old air with fresh air (taking breaths) in their dominant stroke

* Replace air in a variety of techniques in all 4 competitive strokes

*As children gain more control and coordination with how they use their bodies, we strive to get their strokes more efficient and faster, to a point that will sustain them throughout the span of their entire lives!

🌊 Coach Syd’s Surf Tip: Big Wave Holddowns 🏄‍♂️

When you’re held down by a bigger wave, your first instinct might be to fight your way back to the surface—but that can burn through valuable energy fast.
Coach Syd breaks down why staying calm and controlling your breathing starts before you even go under. Instead of exerting everything immediately, relax, conserve your energy, and let the turbulence pass before making your move toward the surface.

In bigger surf, staying composed can be just as important as being physically prepared. 🌊 Always know your limits and respect the conditions.

🌊 Thursday Thoughts 💭

Patience. Purpose. Courage. 💙
Whether you’re waiting for the right wave, working toward a new goal, or learning how to stay calm when things get challenging, progress doesn’t always happen all at once.

Take your time, trust the work you’re putting in, and keep moving forward. 🌊

🌊 Coach Syd’s Surf Tip: Check Your Leash Before You Paddle Out 🏄‍♂️

Your leash is a small piece of equipment with a pretty important job—so take care of it!

Coach Syd walks through why surfers should regularly inspect their leash for wear, damage, and weak points before getting in the water. A quick check before your session can help you catch a problem before it becomes one out in the waves.

Take care of your gear, know when it’s time for a replacement, and make checking your leash part of your pre-surf routine. 🤙

🌊 Coach Syd’s Surf Tip: Surviving a Holddown 🏄‍♂️

Getting held underwater can feel intimidating, but Coach Syd’s biggest tip? Relax.

Instead of fighting the water and burning through your energy, stay calm and let the wave do its thing. Coach Syd likes to think of it like a Disney ride—once you’re on it, you’re along for the ride until it’s over. 🎢🌊

Stay relaxed, conserve your energy, and surface when the turbulence passes. And always surf within your ability and the conditions you’re prepared for.

Dream bigger. Keep going. And don’t forget to enjoy the journey.

Whether you’re learning a new skill in the pool or waiting for the next wave, progress comes with patience, persistence, and a love for what you’re doing. 💙

There’s always another opportunity to learn, grow, and get back in the water.

Fear, confidence, and perseverance are all part of the journey.

Whether you’re learning to swim, catching your first wave, or pushing yourself toward a new goal, growth happens when you keep showing up—even when it feels challenging.
