Swim Starters: Stages A & B
Accompanied by a parent, infants and toddlers learn to be comfortable in the water and develop swim readiness skills through fun and confidence – building experiences, while parents learn about water safety, drowning prevention, and the importance of supervision.
 
A/Water Discovery @ 11:00am-11:30am
Parents accompany children in stage A, which introduces infants and toddlers to the aquatic environment through exploration and encourages then to enjoy themselves while learning about the water.
 
B/Water Exploration @ 11:40am-12:10pm
In stage B, parents work with their children to explore body positions, floating, blowing bubbles, and fundamental safety and aquatic skills.


BEGINNER
Preschool Youth Ages 3-5
​

Swim Basics: Stages 1, 2, & 3
Swimmers will progress through classes that help teach safety around the water, increase comfort with underwater exploration, introduce self-rescue skills, encourage forward movement and momentum. Classes will also introduce rhythmic breathing with integrated movements.
Students learn personal water safety and achieve basic swimming competency by learning two benchmark skills:
  • Swim, float, swim- sequencing front glide, roll, back float, roll, front glide, and exit
  • Jump, push, turn, grab
 
1/Water Acclimation @ 5:10pm-5:40pm
Students develop comfort with underwater exploration and learn to safely exit in the event of falling into a body of water in stage 1. This stage lays the foundation that allows for a student’s future progress in swimming.
 
2/ Water Movement @ 5:50pm-6:20pm
In stage 2, students focus on body position and control, directional change, and forward movement in the water while also continuing to practice how to safely exit in the event of falling into a body of water.
 
3/Water Stamina @ 6:30pm-7:00pm
In stage 3, students learn how to swim to safety from a longer distance than in previous stages in the event of falling into a body of water. This stage also introduces rhythmic breathing and integrated arm and leg action.


INTERMEDIATE
Youth Ages 5-12
​
Swim Strokes: Stages 4, 5, & 6

Swimmers that have advanced beyond Swim Basics will progress through learning techniques for front crawl, back crawl, breaststroke kick, butterfly kick, and elementary backstroke. Safety skills are reinforced through continued work on treading water and sidestroke. More advanced swimmers will refine technique for all major competitive strokes.
 
4/ Stroke Introduction @ 5:10pm-5:40pm
Students in stage 4 develop stroke technique in front crawl and back crawl and learn the breaststroke kick and butterfly kick. Water safety is reinforced through treading water and elementary backstroke.
 
5/Stroke Development @ 5:50pm-6:20pm
Students in stage 5 work on stroke technique and learn all major competitive strokes. The emphasis on water safety continues through treading water and sidestroke.
 
6/Stroke Mechanics @ 6:30pm-7:00pm
In stage 6, students refine stroke technique on all major competitive strokes, learn about competitive swimming, and discover how to incorporate swimming into a healthy lifestyle.
