Swim Development

Prerequisite:  Child is able to swim independently (freestyle/front crawl) for 25 yards and then tread water for 1 minute.  This is both a safety and preparatory requirement.  Please do not sign your child up for this level if they cannot safely participate.  If you sign up your child for this class and they aren’t able to swim 25 yards independently, then they will not be able to participate and only join the level below (private instruction) if there is a spot.  However, private lessons are known to fill up very quickly and close out before the start of the program.

Goal:  Complete 50 yards freestyle and tread water for 1 minute.

This small group class (2-3 instructors for 8 swimmers) is designed for swimmers who are ready to build endurance and learn stroke and kick technique.   Swimmers will play games that encourage more independent swimming, having students jump in, swim underwater, learn to hold their breath, and treading water. They will also utilize a kick board during class to learn specific kicks for different strokes.

Ages are suggested, but in some instances not necessarily applicable depending on your child's specific skill development.  Skill prerequisite is necessary to safely participate in class.  

This class is offered on Tuesday and Thursday.
You can sign up for one day or sign up for two... both Tuesday and Thursday.
