Uncomfortable in water? Unbalanced? Nervous swimming without floaties?
Great for those who are timid or fearful of water. Introduces basic safety rules, body buoyancy, conditions to hold breath, water in face, and wall safety.
Student advances when they can jump in, reach for the wall with limited assistance and the fear factor has turned to fun factor.
No fear? Love water?
Building foundational skills to swimming: improving, correcting, strengthening proper form in kicks, arm pulls, breath control, and sealing those front and back floats. If you can float, then you can swim.
Student advances when they can hold a back float, do a front float, jump in, get to the wall, and climb out without assistance.
I float really well… now what?
With foundational skills like breath control, solid floats, and straight leg kicks, it’s time to build strokes. We start with a competitive backstroke then elementary backstroke. Surface dives and streamline floating with kicking comes next.
Student advances when they can swim the length of the pool and go down the slide by themselves.
I get so tired while swimming… why? How do I prepare to join a team?
By the end of this course you will know the proper techniques for three different strokes and beyond. Build stamina, strength, confidence and skills.
Student graduates with a Water Safe Certificate when they can jump in at deep end, tread water for 60 seconds, swim 100 yards without touching the wall or bottom then float for a minute. Ultimate goal for all!
