Swim Lessons Information

On the first day of swim lessons, all students will be evaluated and placed in the appropriate level based on their swimming abilities.

Levels 1-3 provide your child with the skills needed to survive the water and begin building the foundation for a lifelong love of swimming. Swimmers follow a schedule of progress through three levels of development.

LEVEL 1
Water Exploration: Teaching focuses on safety skills, supported front and back floating, supported proper kicking on front and back
(straight leg, pointed toe), beginner front and back crawl, and full-face submersion with underwater exhalation.

LEVEL 2
Primary Skills: Students in this level must be comfortable in the water and have some prior familiarity with swim lessons. Teaching continues to build skills in unsupported floating and proper kicking
(straight leg, pointed toe), streamline gliding, rhythmic breathing, and basic front and back crawl strokes.
​
LEVEL 3
Stroke Readiness: Students in this level must be independent swimmers who do not need the assistance of an instructor for a minimum of ten yards using a competent front crawl stroke with proper kicking. Teaching will improve your child’s unsupported front and back crawl strokes, front and back glides, rhythmic breathing, and water-treading skills.
