Class Descriptions
ADULT SWIM CLASSES
(ages 16+)
- Our Adult Swim Lessons aim to help with acclimating to water with a gentle and patient approach
- Join this class for support, to feel safe and comfortable in the water.
- Instruction includes basic strokes: freestyle, breaststroke and back stroke
Parent/Tot Class
(children ages 1.5 to 3 years)
- This is a gentle, child-focused, yet progressive approach to teaching toddlers to acclimate to water.
- The songs, activities, and skill progressions will encourage skill acquisition and develop a lifelong love of the water.
- Swim diapers are required for any child not fully potty trained.
- One parent/guardian (age 16+) is required to be in the water every class with each child. Strong swimming skills are not necessary for parents participating in the Parent/Tot Class.
SWIM 101
(beginners ages 4-6 years)
- Children must be at least four years old to participate in this beginner-level group.
- Children will learn water acclimation, the flutter kick on their front and back, breath control/holding, and an introduction to surface swimming with pop-up-style breathing.
Swim 102/103
(intermediate skills ages 4-6)
- At this level, children will build on the skills learned in Swim 101 as their physical development allows them to progress.
- They will continue to develop their freestyle kick, breath control, back-kick, and freestyle.
- Students must surface swim with pop-up breaths for 15 feet independently to participate in this group.
Swim 201/202/203
(advanced ages 6-12 years)
- Children will learn the refined in-line kick on front and back, the backstroke for 25 feet, and the freestyle with side breathing for 25 feet.
