Group Lessons

Gain confidence in the water while learning swimming skills and water safety. Participants are grouped by age and skill level. Sessions include four, 30-minute lessons. Levels one and two use a four student to one instructor ratio, and levels three and four use a six student to one instructor ratio.

Level Descriptions

Level 1: This level is for the beginner. Students at this level may be apprehensive and cling to the teacher. They may not be able to move freely through the water without the aid of an instructor. The main emphasis at this level is to help the student develop safe pool behavior, adjust to the water, and develop independent movement in the water. Level one is designed for new swimmers, and adaptation to the water. By the end of these classes the swimmer should be able to perform rhythmic bobs with breath exchange.

Level 2: This is an intermediate level for students who know how to swim 5 yards with out the help of an instructor. Students are taught floating on their stomachs, and an introduction to freestyle and backstroke.
