Beginner
Our Beginner swimmers start out with an introduction to the water by doing what makes them feel comfortable. We make it fun with lots of pool toys and positive encouragement. Our goal is to have them eventually going under the water and enjoying it.

Prerequisites: Child won't submerge head underwater.

Beginning +
Our Beginning + level is for our swimmers who aren't afraid to get wet, but need to start learning some skills. In this class we teach them gliding, kicking, getting rings off the bottom, floating on their backs and big arms. Our goal is to have them kicking and using big arms about 3 feet through the water.

Prerequisites: Child should be able to submerge in water on their own.

Beginning Breather
Beginning Breather is for our swimmers who keep getting farther and farther away from the wall, but don't know what to do when they need air. In this class we work on big arms and kicks and we teach them how to roll onto their backs to get some air. Our goal is to have them swimming big arms out into the pool and roll to get air.

Prerequisites: Child should be able to kick, float on their backs (assisted) and do big arms.

Little Strokes
Little Strokes is a level for our little swimmers to perfect the skill of rolling on their back. We mainly emphasize the big arms with rolls, but we also start teaching butterfly and backstroke. Our goal is to have them swimming across the pool unassisted.

Prerequisites: Child should be able to swim big arms and do a sea otter roll.

Beginning Strokes
Beginning Strokes is for our students who can make it across the pool using big arms and rolling onto their back for air. Now its time for them to start learning specific swim styles. We will introduce a few different strokes with an emphasis on freestyle with side breathing.

Prerequisites: Child should be able to swim big arms and do a sea otter roll.

Strokes
In Strokes our students work on their side breathing until it becomes routine. We will also perfect the backstroke and the butterfly. By this point our swimmers are beginning to look a lot like fish.

Prerequisites: Child should be able to swim freestyle with little to no assistance.

Strokes +
By the time your child reaches Strokes +, freestyle with side breathing should be second nature. Our swimmers work on more techniques of freestyle, backstroke and butterfly, as well as learning the breaststroke.

Prerequisites: Child should be able to swim freestyle, backstroke and butterfly.

Competition
Our Competition class is offered for those swimmers who are interested in joining a swim team or learning more of the "nuts and bolts" of swimming. We will work on any bad habits, racing dives, flip turns, racing and actual work outs.

Prerequisites: Child must be able to swim each of the four strokes efficiently.
