Aquatic Center

Swim Lessons

 
Swimming lessons are offered on weekdays in the morning and afternoon, and on Saturday mornings. Classes are offered at an affordable rate and are available for children and adults, beginner to advanced levels.

CHILDREN'S GROUP LESSONS

Tots
The primary goal of this course is water adjustment and exploration. Parents will learn to aid their children in the beginning stage of the swimming progression. Skills include: entering the water, face submerging, supported floats, and bubble blowing.

Level One
Children learn elementary aquatic skills unaided by their parents. Skills include: submerging, supported floating, entering the water and blowing bubbles.

Level Two
Children will review level one skills and begin to swim more independently. New skills include unsupported floating, kicking, bobbing, and unassisted turning over from front to back.

Level Three
Children will learn to coordinate front crawl with an emphasis on rhythmic breathing, back crawl, elementary back stroke, treading water, retrieving objects and entering deep water.

Level Four/Five
Children will be doing the front crawl, the back crawl and elementary back stroke for longer distances. Breast stroke and side stroke will be introduced. This course builds endurance and introduces lap swimming while refining previous skills. Advanced level students will also be introduced to butterfly stroke, open turns and rescue skills.

ADULT GROUP LESSONS

Beginner
This class is for adults who have little or no experience in the water, or who do not feel comfortable in the water. Adults will begin exploring the water and increasing their level of comfort. They will learn to float on their stomachs and backs, to flutter kick, and will begin learning the front and back crawl.

Intermediate
This class is for adults who have taken the beginner class. They will continue to develop the front and back crawl, and the breast stroke will be introduced.

Advanced
This class is for adults who are able to swim the full length of the pool repeatedly. The class will focus on stroke refinement for the front and back crawl and breast stroke. Butterfly will be taught.

PRIVATE LESSONS

Private classes are available for children and adults of all ages and levels.
