Lesson Stages
All swim lessons are 25 minutes in length until stages 4, 5, & 6 which are 40 minutes in length.
Swim Starters: Accompanied by a parent, infants & toddlers learn to be comfortable in the water & develop swim readiness skills through fun & confidence-building experiences, while parents learn about water safety, drowning prevention & the importance of supervision.
- Level A Water Discovery: Parents accompany children in stage A, which introduces infants & toddlers to the aquatic environment through exploration & encourages them to enjoy themselves while learning about the water.
- Level B Water Exploration: Parents work with their children to explore body positions, floating, blowing bubbles & fundamental safety & aquatic skills.
Swim Basics: Students learn personal water safety & achieve basic swimming competency by learning two benchmark skills.
- Swim, float, swim-sequencing front glide, roll, back float, roll, front glide & exit
- Jump, push, turn & grab
- Level 1 Water Acclimation: (3-5 years old) – Students develop comfort with underwater exploration & learn to safely exit in the event of falling into a body of water in stage 1. This stage lays the foundation that allows for a student's future progress in swimming.
- Level 2 Water Movement: (4-5 years old) – Students focus on body position & control, directional change & forward movement in the water while also continuing to practice how to safely exit in the event of falling into a body of water.
- Level 3 Water Stamina: (4-5 years old) – Students learn how to swim to safety from a longer distance than in previous stages in the event of falling into a body of water. This stage also introduces rhythmic breathing & integrated arm & leg action.
Ages 6 & up *In order for children to advance to the next level & sign up for that level they must pass all requirements for the previous level. Goggles are recommended for all levels!
