SCHOOL AGE CLASSES: AGES 6 AND UP
In these levels, students are learning to enhance and perfect the various skill techniques learned in earlier levels. Students should be comfortable in the water and continuing to grow in their aquatic independence.

Level 2 Swimmer
To enter this level, students must be comfortable submerging underwater, able to float on front and back, and able to make forward movement with kicking. Students should have strong confidence in the water. Flutter kick on front and back, streamlining, alternating arm strokes on front and back, rhythmic breathing, underwater exploration and treading skills will be introduced and developed in this level. Students will also begin to develop swimming endurance as they continue to develop skills.

PRESCHOOL AQUATICS (AGES 3-5 YEARS)

(Should be able to follow instructions and have good listening skills)

Preschool students learn water adjustment and confidence, safety, and independence, as well as basic movements in the water in a fun and interactive environment. Advanced students will complete some skills without flotation or support.
