Junior Swim Classes

Swim classes will be held in four-week terms. Each class has limited space available. Registration in advance is required.
Please choose a level that is closest to your child’s current ability. At the instructor’s discretion, a child may be moved to another
level if necessary.
Learn to Swim (ages 5 and up)
Levels 1 & 2
This level is designed to enhance and build on the skills
learned in Preschool Aquatics. Learn to Swim Levels 1 & 2
include the same skills as Preschool Aquatics Levels 1-3, except
that the child performs each one independently. Some skills include:
submerging mouth and blowing bubbles, gliding on front,
and rolling to back and floating.
Level 3
This level prepares the swimmer to build endurance in the water
by adding distance to their already learned stroke technique.
Also, students will orient to deep water by learning to dive. Additional
skills include: scissor kick, elementary backstroke, and
treading water.
Level 4
This level introduces the remaining strokes (backstroke,
breaststroke, butterfly and sidestroke) and also increases endurance
for the front crawl. Additional diving, underwater swimming,
and treading skills are also enhanced.
Level 5
The expectations are higher for participants now in regards
to distance and quality. Each class is loaded with engaging and
challenging activities and drills to build endurance and improve
technique. Turns and shallow water dives are introduced, as well
as some basic water rescue techniques.
Level 6 – Fitness Swimmer
The expectations are quite high in regards to distance and
quality. Additionally, in Fitness Swimmer, you learn principles of
training and how to evaluate your own level of fitness. Swimmers
will learn to use a pace clock, monitor their heart rate, and learn
to use a variety of swimming training equipment.
