School Age swim lessons are 45 minute classes comprised of three main components:
personal growth, personal saftey, and stroke development. Each level builds on the previous level, with six levels covering
all the strokes, diving fundamentals, and safety skills. Students progress upon mastering all of the skills required
in their current level.
BEGINNER
For
school age children that have never had swim lessons or have a fear of the water. It introduces the fundamentals of
swimming: breath control, floating, kicking, and paddling.
ADVANCED BEGINNER
Participants continue to practice and build upon basic skills.
They start stroke development for freestyle and backstroke.
INTERMEDIATE 1
Children further refine their stroke development. Swimming, diving,
and treading water for longer durations and distances begins here.
INTERMEDIATE 2
Introduces children to breaststroke and sidestroke, continues the development
of freestyle and backstroke, and begins starts and turns for competitive swimming. This level refines treading water
and floating skills as durations and distances become more challenging.
ADVANCED 1
Children learn the last competitive stroke - butterfly. They continue
to perform the competitive strokes for longer distances, and further develop the starts, turns, and finishes for each.
ADVANCED 2
This level is
the finale for school age children. They perform all of the competitive strokes, with starts, turns, and finishes, and
are introduced to the individual medley. Floating and treading water are refined for one final time.
School age swim lessons meet once a week for eight weeks at
the YMCA's six lane, 25-meter pool located on the bottom floor of the facility.
