Some parent participation may be allowed. I is to help students feel comfortable in water and to enjoy the water safely. Students will be introduced to elementary aquatic skills which will be built on as they progress through the Learn to Swim program. Students are ready for this level when they are mature enough to participate in a group setting without a parent. The objective of Level II is to give students success with fundamental skills.
Students learn to float without support and to recover to a vertical position.
The objective of Level III is to build on the skills in Level II by providing additional guided practice. Students will learn to coordinate the front and back crawl. They will be introduced to the elementary back stroke and to the fundamentals of treading water. Students will also learn rules for safe diving and begin to learn to dive from the side of the pool. The objective of Level IV is to develop confidence in the strokes learned thus far and to improve other aquatic skills.
