Learn-to-Swim
Parent and Child Aquatics
Designed for children six months to five years of age, the program builds swimming readiness by emphasizing fun in the water. Parents and children participate in several guided practice sessions that help children learn elementary skills, including water entry, bubble blowing, front kicking, back kicking, back floating, underwater exploration and more. Once children can perform basic skills without parental assistance, they may begin Learn-to-Swim.
Learn-to-Swim
Our new Learn-to-Swim courses offer something for everyone. A unique six-level instructional approach is unlike anything offered by other aquatic training progams. Participants learn a variety of strokes, including the front crawl, back crawl, elementary back, breaststroke, sidestroke and butterfly. They are introduced to a wide range of personal safety skills and diving techniques. Courses are fun and interactive with hands-on training. More advanced-levels students refine their skills, learn the basics of springboard diving and discover how to incorporate swimming into a life fitness plan.
Look for Learn-to-Swim programs at your local community centers, parks & recreation departments, and other pool facilities nearby.
Prerequisite(s):
Children 6 months and older, and adults.
The prerequisite for each level is the successful, demonstration of the skills from the preceding level, except for Level 1, which has no prerequisite.
