Swim Lessons - Summer 2025

For Ages 6 Months – 3 Years. The purpose of this course is to familiarize children with the water and teach swimming readiness skills. This course also teaches parents safety information and techniques parents can use to help orient children to the water. One parent per child is required to be in the water during this course.

For Ages 3 – 5 Years. The purpose of this course is to begin teaching fundamental water safety and aquatic skills. This course is meant for young children (ages 3-5) to begin helping them get comfortable in the water, with them learning basic water safety skills. Preschool is broken down into three levels: beginner, intermediate and advanced. A child must obtain certain skills before moving on or being entered into a more advanced level.

For Ages 5-12 Years. The purpose of this course is to teach children and young teens to be safe in, on, and around water and swim well. Aquatic and personal water safety skills are taught in logical progressions through the levels. Participants are placed into 3 different levels based on skills with the purpose of teaching children to be safe in, on, and around water and to swim well. Participants must obtain certain skills before moving on or being entered into a more advanced level.

For Ages 5 - 12 years: Level 4 & 5 focuses on improving participants’ proficiency in previously learned strokes and introduces more advanced skills. Swimmers continue to refine their front crawl, back crawl, breaststroke, and elementary backstroke while increasing endurance. New skills include the basics of butterfly, sidestroke, open turns, and diving from the side. The emphasis is on developing confidence in deeper water and preparing participants for more complex techniques. Participants in this level should be able to swim one lap by themselves. Participants registered for Level 5 should be able to swim freestyle and backstroke proficiently. Participants must obtain certain skills before moving on or being entered into a more advanced level.

Ages 13 years and older

Beginner: Designed for adults with little to no swimming experience. This class focuses on water safety, basic floating, breathing techniques, and introductory strokes such as front crawl and back crawl to build confidence and comfort in the water.

Intermediate: For adults who are comfortable in the water and can swim short distances. This class works on improving stroke technique, building endurance, and introducing additional strokes like breaststroke and elementary backstroke, while refining water safety skills.

For Ages 13+. This course is intended for older teens and adults wishing to improve their knowledge and skills in the water. Whether you have never been in the water or need some help learning/improving a stroke, this course can help you reach your goals for the water.
