Group Swim Lessons
Parent/Tot-this class helps parents familiarize their young children ages 6 months to 3 years to the water and prepares them to swim in the Preschool Aquatics or Learn to Swim courses. This class also gives parents safety information and teaches techniques to help orient their children to the water. Prerequisites: child must be at least 6 months old to enroll.

Preschool Aquatics (Levels 1-3): promotes the developmentally appropriate learning of fundamental water safety and aquatic skills for children recommended ages 4 and 5 years old. Appropriate personal safety and rescue skills are included to help children meet safety goals in all Preschool Levels.

Level 1: orients preschool children to the aquatic environment and to help them gain basic aquatic skills. It also helps children develop comfort in, on and around the water.

Level 2: preschool children gain greater independence in the skills from Level 1 and develop more comfort in and around the water.

Level 3: helps preschool children start to gain basic swimming propulsive skills to be comfortable in and around the water.

Learn to Swim (Levels 1-4): teaches aquatic and personal water safety skills in a logical progression. Participants will learn to be safe in, on and around the water. Recommended minimum age for entry to the program is 6 years old.

Level 1: Introduction to Water Skills: participants learn basic personal safety information and elementary aquatic skills, to help them feel comfortable in the water and to enjoy the water safely.

Level 2: Fundamental Aquatic Skills: participants begin to have success with fundamental skills. They also learn to float without support and to recover to a vertical position. This level marks the beginning of true locomotion skills that lay the foundation for future strokes.

Level 3: Stroke Development: builds on previous learned skills by learning the front crawl and elementary backstroke. They are introduced to scissors and dolphin kicks. They also build on the fundamentals of treading water.

Level 4: Stroke Improvement: develop participants’ confidence in the strokes learned thus far and to improve other aquatic skills. Participants will increase their endurance for front crawl and elementary backstroke. They will learn side stroke, back crawl, breaststroke and butterfly as well as the basics of turning at the wall.
