Description Our school age swim lesson program works with children
ages 6 – 12 years. Classes are progressive and will focus on a
variety of skills based on the child’s individual ability at the
time of lessons. For beginner swimmers, our classes will focus on
developing comfort going underwater, self-rescue skills, body
position/control, changing directions and forward movement.
Intermediate swimmers will focus on the above skills performed at
longer distances, in addition they will learn side breathing and
integrated arm/leg action with basic stroke technique. More advanced
swimmers will focus on stroke technique for front crawl, back crawl,
elementary backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly with progressively
longer distances being practiced. Treading water skills will be also
be introduced and practiced.
