Swimming
Groups
| Group
1: For those students who are new to the water. Typically
the 4-7 year old age range. We will be teaching the basics of
floating, proper kicking techniques and simple arm motions.
Most students are comfortable with the use of floats or other
assistance in the water. |
| Group
2: For our experienced swimmers. Typically 8-12 years
old. We will be teaching this class the basics of swimming including
proper stoke techniques including the side stroke, freestyle,
and breaststroke. Students should be comfortable floating on
their own and feel comfortable in the water when not assisted
by a “noodle”. |
For
Parents
| Parents:
We will be asking all parents to stay on the opposite side of
the fence, but in the pool area. This is so that your child
is not temped to run to you during the class. There is one lifeguard
ON DUTY during swim lessons as a safety precaution. |
| Lap
Swim: If you are interested in getting wet yourself
during the class, there will be a lane set up for Lap Swim.
This will not interfere with the classes being held. |
