Students will do multiple repetitions of skills to encourage muscle memory with all swimmers swimming the width of the pool. Participants are tested on the first day of each session to see what group they will be placed in. Groups are based on ability not age. There are 4 different groups from Beginner to Advanced. We promote up to the next level when students have mastered the skills in their group and the instructor & participant are confident in their ability to move up to the next level.

Levels

Group 1: Beginner Swimming skills

Getting in and out of the pool safely, blowing bubbles, going completely under the water and can handle water going in their eyes/dripping down their face/going in their ears. Participants will work with the kick board to begin building strong legs to kick across the pool and begin working on arm circles.

Group 2: Advanced Beginner Skills

All Group 2 students must be able to kick across the pool without assistance and be comfortable putting their face in the water. In this group students begin to learn Rhythmic Breathing, arm circles, and are introduced to the Backstroke. They begin swimming from instructor to instructor, slowly building endurance.

Group 3: Intermediate Skills

All Group 3 students must be proficient in Rhythmic Breathing, comfortable and able to swim Freestyle and Backstroke unassisted on a repetitive basis. In this group they will work with a pull buoy and begin learning the Breaststroke while continuing to improve their endurance.
