Children’s Swimming Levels:
Water Babies
For ages 6 months – 2 ½ years
Water Babies offers a half-hour of fun time for parent and baby. The parent will be instructed on appropriate holds, safety skills and the creative how to’s of getting your baby more water friendly.
Water Exploration
For ages 2 ½ – 4 years
Water Exploration provides an enthusiastic time for tots to expend energy. Our goal is to increase comfort level and reinforce age appropriate safety skills. Bubbles, barbells and fins will all be introduced for participants.
Primary Skills I
For ages 3 ½ – 4 ½
We continue working with bubbles, barbells and fins, while enforcing strength in kicking and the ability to successfully backfloat. Propulsion, freedom to use arms and jumps are all features for participants at this level.
Primary Skills II
For ages 4 – 6
Fundamentals of alternating backfloating with treading water are key elements taught at this level. Kickboards will replace the barbells and bubbles are no longer needed. The children will continue focusing on the kick, under water arm stroke, and deepwater recovery.
Primary Skills III
For ages 5 – 8
Coordinating the rhythmic breathing with over arm water recovery is the primary goal of this level. Back propulsion and deep underwater swimming are introduced. We will continue using the kickboards and fins.
Stroke Readiness
For ages 6 – 8
After successfully completing a length of the pool in good freestyle form, the young swimmer will be enhancing rhythmic breathing with alternate breathing to become a stronger swimmer. Backstroke will also be introduced and mastered at this level.
Stroke Development
For ages 7 10
Breaststroke and the butterfly kick are introduced. Diving from the side of the pool, with progression to the racing block, and open turns will add a new dimension to swim lessons at this intermediate level.
Stroke Refinement
For ages 7 – 10
Complete skill refinement for all four competitive strokes with improved diving skills will be the focus for refinement swimmers. This is the last level prior to the swim stroke clinics.

Swim Stroke Clinic
This bridge program was created to offer swimmers the opportunity to continue fine tuning the four competitive strokes, while learning the complimentary racing start and turn. Our overall goal is to reinforce correct technique while developing fitness and competitive swimmers. Participants will be taught how to design a workout, read a pace clock and encouraged to continue swimming whether for fitness or competition. This curriculum has been designed by the swim team coaches based on team training. Entrance into clinic is based on an evaluation by our head coach.
