About the School
Trip Hedrick's Cylcone Swim School was established in 1993 and is
Iowa's first licensed Cylcone Swim School. SwimAmerica's goal is “to teach
America to swim for health, safety, fun, and fitness.” Cylcone Swim School is an
international, state of the art, learn to swim program that operates in nine
countries. Cylcone Swim School believes that a student should not only be taught to swim
but should be taught to swim well. Unlike most traditional swim lesson programs
that require a student to remain in a particular level for the duration of the
session, Cylcone Swim School employs a station method of teaching that enables students
to progress at their own rate based upon skill attainment levels. Our unique
award system rewards a student each time a new level is attained. Cylcone Swim Schools
operate in conjunction with The American Swimming Coaches Association.
The Cyclone Swim School LLC is operated by Trip Hedrick, former Head Men's
Swimming Coach at Iowa State University.
Participation Requirements
In our traditional Cylcone Swim School sessions, we will accept children that turn 5 by
October 15th, 2010. We expect our enrollees to be ready and willing to
positively cooperate in our structured lesson setting. If you are in doubt of
your child's readiness to begin our program, we believe it is best to wait.
Trained Staff
The school is staffed with highly qualified and trained instructors who provide
quality swim lessons with care, compassion, and good humor.
Location
The Cylcone Swim School is conducted at the Forker Building pool on
the east side of the Iowa State Campus.
Instructor to Student Ratio and Class Size
To ensure the most ideal teaching conditions we maintain an instructor to
student ratio of no more than 1:3. Each class will be limited to 12 students
minimum and 22 students maximum. Classes will be filled on a first-come,
first-serve basis.
Your Investment in Swimming Lessons
We believe that your investment of both time and money in your child's swimming
should be a wise one. We also believe that at the completion of a lesson
progression, your child should have as many options in aquatics as possible.
Whether it be basic survival skills, lifelong aquatic comfort in recreational
aquatic activities, a lifetime of productive aquatic fitness, or even possible
participation in a competitive swimming program, your child should learn from
those that can best accommodate these potential options. We are confident that
our “goal oriented” program and motivational instructors provide your best value
in your swimming investment.

Cost of Cylcone Swim School is $79 per session. A one-time, new participant Program
Initiation Fee of $25 is also required for each new participant. This fee includes a
