Learn-to-Swim Level Descriptions
Level 1: Introduction to Water Skills: helps new swimmers become familiar and comfortable in the water and establishes the foundation for future proficiency and achievement. In this class, we blow bubbles, retrieve objects from the bottom of the pool, kick with and without a kickboard, learn streamline on stomach and float on our backs. We are always encouraging water safety in and around the water.
Level 2: Builds on Level-1 by introducing arm stroke for the front crawl and back strokes. We continue to work on our bubbles, floating, streamlining and kicking.
Level 3: Specific focus on technique emphasizing coordinating arm and leg movements and improving upon Level-2 skills. We will use the entire length of the pool to kick with kickboards. We will use half of the pool to technically improve on our front crawl and back strokes. In this class, the swimmer can already swim the front crawl on their own, however, still needs assistance with breathing to the side.
