Level 1 – This level is for children who have little or no water experience or have only ever used a floatation device to swim. We will focus on skills such as water safety, floating on front/back, putting face in the water, and on the beginning motions of swim strokes. Children at this level need hands-on assistance with all of these skills.
Level 2 – This level is for children who are beginning to try skills independently, but still need some assistance. They are beginning to use arms and legs in a more efficient way and are bridging the gap to becoming an independent swimmer. We will continue to build on the skills of Level 1, but practice more independence with those skills.
Level 3 – This level is for children who can swim independently, but need to work on stroke development, as well as deep water skills such as treading water. Focus will be put on making their strokes more efficient, while also reviewing skills from previous levels.
