Parent Information
Coaches
I am the creator of Face-Up First swimming progression, the online course Water Safety Education for Parents & Caregivers, and the Swimming Pool Safety for Kids poem and aquatic awards program.
Shelby Schultz is an experienced coach and an expert in teaching the Face-Up First curriculum. We are committed to the same high levels of exceptional customer service and technical excellence. However, we operate our businesses independent of one another.
The Grand Island YMCA and iNspire Swim & Fitness also offer swimming lessons using my Face-Up First curriculum. We do sometimes share space on this website, but when you register for lessons with Shelby Schultz, iNspire, and/or Grand Island YMCA, you are doing business with them - not with Jeanie Neal.
Please use the appropriate registration forms for your selected lessons. The forms on our pages are not interchangeable. Whomever you choose, we are each grateful for your business. - Jeanie Neal
Swim School Uniform
Face-Up First swimmers ages three to twelve are required to wear one-piece, solid-color competition-style swimming suits, caps, and goggles for all lessons.* The coaches will provide caps and goggles, or swimmers may wear their own. Children who are not yet reliably potty-trained are required to wear swim diapers.
*Rockbrook Pool swimmers are exempt from this requirement for the summer express lessons. See additional information on the session page.
*Grand Island YMCA and iNspire Swim Team may have different swim school requirements.
