The 4&5 year old session explores the skills taught in our level system, but is taught in a smaller group and in our smaller pool designed for younger swimmers to learn safely in until they are old enough for our Levels program.
Level 1 - Intro to Water Skills: The objective of this class is to help students feel comfortable in the water. Students will learn elementary water skills which they will build on as they progress through our program. Those who feel comfortable in the water may progress quickly.
Level 2 - Fundamental Aquatic Skills: The objective of this class is to teach independent movement in the water. Students will learn to float on their front and back without support and to recover to a vertical position. Entering and exiting the pool independently is also introduced.
Level 3 - Stroke Development: The objective of this class is to give students success with fundamental skills. Students begin learning alternative and simultaneous arm and leg actions on their front and back; jumping in from the side of the pool, treading water and dolphin/breaststroke kicks.
Level 4 - Stroke Improvement: The objective for this class is to build on the skills in Level 3 by providing additional guided practice. Students will begin coordinating the front and back crawl strokes. Participants will be introduced to diving from the side of the pool, survival floating, breaststroke, and sidestroke.
Participants requesting a full refund must notify the department at least one week before the start of their swim lesson. Requests made with less than one week's notice may not be eligible for a refund and will be subject to the district's discretion.
Thank you for your understanding.
