Water Exploration: An enthusiastic time for tots to expend energy. Our goal is to increase comfort level and reinforce age appropriate safety skills. Children will learn how to enter and exit the water safely, blow bubbles, and how to use arms and legs in the water. Parent will not be in the water with the child. Ages 2½ to 4 years old.

Primary Skills I: We continue to develop a strong kick, forward arm movement and blowing bubbles. Back floating and rolling from front to back will be taught at this level. Children will be encouraged to fully submerge underwater and jump in to instructor. Water safety rules will be reinforced.
Ages 31/2 to 5 years old.

Primary Skills II: Children at this level should be able to swim several feet without a flotation aid. Fundamentals of alternating back floating and treading water are key elements taught at this level. We will continue to focus on the kick and under-water arm strokes. Ages 41/2 to 7 years old.

Primary Skills III: Coordinating rhythmic breathing with over arm water recovery is the primary goal of this level. Swimming endurance will be improved and treading water will be mastered. Ages 51/2 to 81/2 years old.

Stroke Readiness: The young swimmer will continue to work on rhythmic breathing to become a stronger swimmer. The breaststroke will be introduced at this level. Ages 51/2 to 9 years old.

Stroke Development: Breaststroke will be mastered and the butterfly kick is introduced. Diving from the side of the pool, with progression to the racing block will add a new dimension to swim lessons at this intermediate level. Ages 6 to 12 years old.

Stroke Refinement: Complete skill refinement for all four competitive strokes with improved diving skills will be the focus. This is the last level prior to the Swim Club. Ages 6 to 14 years old.
