Private lessons are available at the availability of the facility and swim instructors. One additional family member may join the Private lesson for an additional $10 per lesson. Once you have registered for a Private lesson a swim instructor will contact you to arrange your lesson time.

This class is for the child that loves the water but is not ready to go alone. This parent/child program will promote aquatic adjustments, swimming readiness skills, while having fun with mom, dad or grandparent. Emphasis is on becoming more familiar in the water while building a trusting relationship with the parent. We will use songs, games, and activities that will promote the swimmers to work on opening eyes and retrieving objects below the surface, front/back floats and glides with assistance from the parent, and leg and arm action on front and back. Parent/guardian must get into the water with the child.

This class will help toddlers adjust to the water and build confidence through games, songs and fun. This class is designed for your toddler to continue with swim lessons without the assistance of mom or dad. This is a drop-off program so your child must be ready to try swimming with our instructors. Skills that the instructors will work on are listening, following directions and staying with the group while learning how to safely enter the water, bob, retrieve objects from below the surface, floating on front and back with assistance, and leg action on front and back. Children in this level will learn how to put their face in the water and open their eyes under water.

This is a continuation of our Waterbug program where we will work on making students feel comfortable in the water. Seals participants will work on submerging mouth, nose and eyes while picking up submerged objects. They will work on recovering from a front and back glide, swimming on front/back using arm and leg actions. Floating and gliding skills are taught with support from the instructor. Safety topics include recognizing the lifeguards, how to call for help, and too much sun.

(45 minutes)

This level will give students success with fundamental skills. Participants will fully submerge and hold breath for 5 or more seconds, while working on rolling from front/back and back/front. Tuck, jelly, and front/back floats are mastered in this level. Supported floating with kicks and rhythmic breathing are introduced. Swimmer will work on performing front and back glides for 5 body lengths. Safety topics include, staying safe around water, life jacket use, and recognizing an emergency.

This level will build on the skills learned in level 2. Participants will learn to bob while moving to safety in chest deep water. Swimmers will need to perform the survival float for a minimum of 30 seconds, learn a scissor kick, and elementary back stroke for 15 yards. They will work on learning rotary breathing in horizontal position and being able to change from horizontal to vertical position on front and back. Improving skill competence, deep-water work, including elementary backstroke, and treading water is of primary concern. Safety topics include cold water or ice safety, reaching, and throwing assists.

Participants will develop confidence in the skills previously learned and improve other aquatic skills. Some skills participants will be required to complete include front and back crawl and sidestroke with scissor kick. Breaststroke, butterfly and backstroke will be added to this level of swimming. Safety topics include reaching and throwing assists, recreational water illnesses, and thinking before you leap.
