Learn to Swim - Levels 4-6

These group lessons are for levels 4-6, ages 6-13. Small classes with a 1:6 instructor to student ratio allow each student to advance in their swim skills and progress towards more efficient swimming and water safety.

The Level 4 class builds on the skills learned in Level 3 by providing additional guided practice to improve aquatics skills. Breaststroke and sidestroke are introduced while endurance is being developed. Students in this level should be able to jump in, float for 1 minute, swim 25 yards of crawl stroke and elementary backstroke.

The Level 5/6 class will build on the skills learned in Level 4 as well as focus on stroke refinement, skill proficiency and swimming ease and efficiency.  Students will gain the ability to swim smoothly over greater distances. Students in these levels should be able to swim crawl stroke, back crawl, breaststroke and butterfly.

*Students will be tested and assigned the appropriate level on the first day of swim lessons. If you have a progress report from a previous lesson with us, please bring that on the first day so your child can bypass the testing session. Please arrive early for check in and additional instructions.

Air Quality

We have adopted the following guidelines for recreational programs during times of poor air quality. The guideline is based on Air Quality Index (AQI) levels as established by the Bay Area Quality Management District. When the air quality index reaches the red zone (151 to 200) or above, outside activities and programs will be suspended. Indoor activities and programs will be suspended when air quality gets into the purple zone (201 to 250) or above. We will monitor the air quality daily and notify you if there is a cancellation or postponement.
