Team ACHIEVE

City Swim Project launched the Team ACHIEVE (Academics Can Help In Emotions, Values and Education).

City Swim Project’s (CSP) Team ACHIEVE program is designed to support academic achievement, social emotional learning, nutrition education, and character-building opportunities for CSP swimmers.  All swimmers are required to complete one (1) hour of Team ACHIEVE on-site prior to their scheduled swim lesson. CSP offers free tutoring for swimmers in grades 1 through 12. The organization has purchased computer tablets and the IXL Interactive Learning Education Software to support math and ELA learning commonly used in Buffalo Public Schools. The software provides comprehensive K-12 math and ELA practice at each swimmer’s own pace through fun and interactive questions, built in support, and motivating awards. In addition, IXL provides real-time diagnostics (3+ times annually) to assess what swimmers know and gives information to our tutors on how to help each swimmer progress academically. Finally, IXL provides up-to-date tracking on each swimmer’s academic progress. 

Report cards are to be submitted at the time of registration and at the conclusion of each grading period to ensure student grade progression at school. Scheduling tutoring and swimming lessons are done through an email with a link to SignUp Genius sent every Friday.
