5-15 Years
Safety & Stroke Foundations
Built for beginner swimmers that are new to swimming or are building their foundational swim skills and water safety knowledge. All class levels will work on safety skills including turning around and grabbing the wall and back floating. In Beginner I, students will learn skills such as breath control, straight leg kicking, rollover breathing, and windmill arms. Developing those skills will enable them to swim independently with good technique. As students progress into Beginner II and III, they will learn technical rollover breathing, Elementary Backstroke, diving, and treading. Teachers will help swimmers build confidence in the water and have fun!
