Parents will continue to learn how to cue their child and encourage readiness for independent swimming. Each session will be limited to 15 students. Students will be broken up into groups based on their skill level in the first class. Groups will have a six students to one instructor ratio. Class skills are taught based on the American Red Cross swim lesson program.
Students can progress from basic water exploration skills to advanced swimming skills.
The progression covers freestyle, backstroke, elementary backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly and sidestroke. We will focus on getting to know the water, how to safely enter and exit the water, the different properties of water and how you can use those properties to your benefit. The purpose of this class is to orient yourself with the water. The only strict guideline is safety. This class meets in the Rec Pool.
