Swimming Lesson Class Overview
Parent-Child Aquatics levels 1-2 are for children ages 6-months to 3 yrs. These classes are designed to teach children to be safe in, on and around the water. Parents or other caregivers are taught information and techniques to help orient their children to the water and to safely supervise water activities. This class is not designed to teach children to learn to swim or even to survive in the water on their own.
Preschool Aquatics Levels 1-3 are designed for children ages 3-5 that are independent and comfortable in the water and can function without a parental presence. Preschool aquatic classes are designed to give young children a positive, developmentally appropriate aquatic learning experience. Participants will be exposed to basic aquatic skills and begin to learn rudimentary propulsive swimming movements on both the front and back. Appropriate personal safety and rescue skills are included to help children meet safety goals.
Learn-to-Swim levels 1-6 are designed for ages 6 and up who are independent and can function without a parental presence. The objective of the LTS program is to teach participants to be safe in, on and around the water and swim well. Participants are taught aquatic and personal water safety. Throughout the levels, participants build on their basic skills to learn various propulsive movements on the front, back and side. As the levels increase, participants learn to refine the different strokes and build endurance.
