Swim Lessons - Level 3

Advanced swimmers join us in Level 3 where we focus on increased endurance and strength in swimming. All swimmers should feel comfortable entering and exiting the pool independently by stepping or jumping in from the side without support. We focus on the smooth transition from gliding to swimming for freestyle (front crawl) and backstroke as well as learning dolphin, breastroke, and side stroke kicks. Students build up their treading skills, learn sitting dives into the water, and swim lengths across the pool. This class takes place in both shallow and deep ends of the pool.

Prerequisites: Passed Level 2; Must be able to swim freestyle (front crawl) and backstroke across the entire length of the pool without stopping (25 yrds); Must be able to enter the pool and learn skills without physical support
