GROUP SWIM LESSON LEVELS:
Level 1: Water Acclimation—Students Develop comfort with underwater exploration and learn to safely exit in the event of falling into a body of water. This Stage lays the foundation that allows for a student's future progress in swimming.
Level 2: Water Movement—Students focus on body position and control, directional change, and forward movement in the water while also continuing to practice how to safely exit in the event of falling into a body of water
Level 3: Water Stamina-students learn how to swim to safety from a longer distance than in previous stages in the event of falling into a body of water. This stage also introduces rhythmic breathing and integrated arm and leg action.
All swim lessons are only once a week. Swim lesson sessions are a total of 6 weeks, one day a week for 30 minutes.
