Parent & Child Swim 2+yrs
Parents and children learn together to increase their child’s comfort level in the water and build a foundation of basic skills, such as getting their face wet in the pool, blowing bubbles, front and back floats and glides. This level is fun-filled to help introduce water safety concepts and encourage a healthy recreational habit. One adult per child is required.

Level 1: Little Beginners
Level 1 introduces first-time swimmers to the pool and helps them gain basic aquatic skills that are the foundation for later levels. Front and back floats, blowing bubbles and leg and arm actions are introduced.

Level 2: Introduction of Water Skills
Level 2 teaches basic personal water safety skills to help children feel comfortable in the water while improving
elementary aquatic skills such as bobbing in the water, front and back glides and combined arm and leg action with assistance.

 

Level 3: Fundamental Aquatic Skills
Level 3 leads participants to success through fundamental skills such as floating and recovering to a vertical  position. Participants will continue to increase their independence with treading and swimming on their front and back.

Level 4: Stroke Development
Level 4 will teach swimmers to do front crawl, rotary breathing and elementary backstroke the width of the pool. They will be introduced to deep water entries and simple dives, while continuing to improve their deep water treading skills.
