School-Age Levels 1-4
We work to form the fundamental building blocks of learning to swim well. We teach with simple steps and the basic skills needed for water safety and beginning swimming. Expect lots of repeats as your child moves through introduction, practice, and finally mastery. We are methodic, you can expect plenty of repetition to be used to train your child to be a swimmer for life! Our goals include working on comfortable submersion, front floats, back floats, streamline glides front and back, rolling over to float, all 4 strokes, and starts/turns too!
LEVEL 1 This level is for nervous or beginning students. We include introduction to the basic skills necessary for swimming. We work on gradual water adaptation, movement in the water, breath holding and release, submersions of the face, opening eyes underwater, blowing bubbles, bobbing with bubbles, and air exchange. Swimmers will gain confidence and master submerging their face in the water. Swimmers will be taught to front float and recover, front glide, and recover, back float and recover, and back glide and recover. Additionally, swimmers will learn how to safely enter the water. Swimmers advance when they can do 10 unassisted relaxed bobs with air exchange and front and back glide for 5 seconds and recover.
Note:
Please be sure to trim your child’s fingernails and toenails before class.
