COURSE DESCRIPTION
Level 1 (9-36 months)
The purpose of this class is to acquaint the child with the water and swimming. Safety will be encouraged in and around the pool. A responsible adult must enter the water with the child. Be prepared to sing songs, play games and have fun.
Level 2
Children in this level should show readiness to swim unaccompanied by an adult. They should be willing to try the following skills: hold head underwater for 10 seconds, float on back and stomach, jump into water feet first and swim the width of the pool.
Level 3
Children will be learning the following swimming strokes: front crawl, back crawl, and elementary backstroke. Survival swimming as well as treading and floating techniques will be introduced. Level 3 swimmers will also attempt the front dive into deep water.
Level 4
Children will be developing their sidestroke and breaststroke as well as refining Level 3 skills. They will be able to demonstrate all five strokes while swimming 200-500 yards of the pool. (8-20 laps) Level 4 swimmers will also be introduced to basic water safety techniques, underwater swimming and competitive diving.
