         Level Criteria and Requirements:

Baby & Me:

This class allows parents and infants to work together in learning how to enjoy being in the water and emphasizes personal safety. Parents must accompany child in the water. Little Swimmers diapers are also required.

Pre-School:

This class helps young children become comfortable in the water and introduces them to skills necessary to begin learning to swim. Children must be potty trained and must be at least three years old.

Level 1:

This level of water exploration is designed to help the student feel comfortable, safe and enjoy the water. Students will learn to float and kick on front and back with support.

Level 2:

In this class, we work on developing primary skills like floating and gliding without support (front & back) and begin to learn basic front and back stroke skills

Level 3:

This level works on building previously learned skills; the students begin coordinating the front and back crawl. Students will also be introduced to deep water activities, kneel dives from the edge and the elementary back stroke.

Level 4:

Students will learn rotary breathing, standing dives, and treading water using scissor kicks. Students will also swim distances using front crawl with rotary breathing, back crawl, elementary backstroke and breaststroke kick.

Level 5:

The objective in this level is to coordinate and refine key strokes including front and back crawl, elementary backstroke, backstroke, breaststroke, and sidestroke. Introductions to the butterfly open turns and other advanced skills begin at this level.

Level 6:

The last level develops a considerable amount of endurance by the completion of the course. This level also works on efficiency, power and smoothness of all strokes.
