Class descriptions:
Parent & Tot: This program is a water adaptation class for children ages 6 to 36 months and their parents. It is designed to help make your child comfortable in the water and to help prepare them for the next step, swimming without Mom or Dad. In class, instructors and parents work together while they introduce basic swimming skills to their children such as: breath control, submersion, kicking, reaching, back float and safety. These skills are introduced gently through songs, games and fun activities. This class it is not a “drown proofing” or swimming instruction class and a parent must be in the water with their child.
Beginner I: This class is for those who have little or no experience in the water. Students will be taught basic water adaptation skills such as putting their face in the water, holding their breath and assisted floating.
Beginner II: This class is designed for students who have some experience in the water and are capable of placing their face in the water. The goal for swimmers in this class is to master the prone float and back float unassisted.
Advanced I: This is for the more advanced swimmer who has mastered floating and underwater swimming. Students will be taught the basic techniques of freestyle and backstroke, including roll breathing.
Advanced II: Swimmers in this group will refine the techniques of freestyle and backstroke and move into the basics of butterfly and breaststroke.
