About this event
Description
We're sorry, but this activity is over. The last meeting was Thursday, April 11, 2024.
This class is an introduction to fundamental swimming skills and water safety. Students will learn: how to enter and exit water using ladder, steps, side or ramps; bobbing and rotary breathing; to open eyes under water and retrieve submerged objects independently; front and back glides and back float and recover to vertical; roll from front to back and back to front, tread water using arm and hand actions; alternating and simultaneous arm and leg actions on front/back; combined arm/leg actions on front/back and staying safe around aquatic environments. The goal is for students to have rudimentary stroke on the front a back, swimming without the aid from an instructor or lifejacket. There will be no classes the week of March 24-30 due to DPS Spring Break. The classes will still run for four weeks, with a week break during that time.Age Category
