LEVEL 1
Welcome to the world of swim! This class is a fabulous first-step in introducing your child to the aquatic environment. Through songs, structured activities, and games, your child will learn essential water safety techniques and foundational skills that will prepare them for more advanced levels.
The primary goal of Level 1 is to get your child comfortable in an aquatic environment while introducing basic skills that will lead to independent, forward progression in the water.
No previous water experience is necessary.
LEVEL 2
This class is for students who are comfortable in the water, can blow bubbles, and are able to swim independently with their face in the water for a short distance.
The main goal of Level 2 is to provide self-assurance in independent swimming. Students will be able to swim 10 feet of freestyle confidently and consistently and demonstrate the foundation for backstroke.
Prerequisite: Mastery of all Level 1 skills
LEVEL 3
In this level, students build upon the foundational freestyle and backstroke skills that were learned in Level 2. The main goal of Level 3 is for students to swim 25 feet of both freestyle and backstroke safely and consistently.
This class prepares them for the challenge of rotary breathing that is introduced in Level 3.
Prerequisite: Mastery of all Level 2 skills
