Advanced class. This is the most advanced swimming class offered. At this level swimmers are competent in six strokes and are proficient swimmers. They are capable of swimming 500-1000 yards during each lesson. This level offers two tracts: Personal Water Safety or Fitness Swimmer. These tracts are alternated throughout the year so that Swimmers have the opportunity to experience both. In addition to the specialized tracts listed above, the intent of this level is to refine strokes so swimmers swim them with ease. The following competitive strokes will be worked on to increase efficiency: freestyle (crawl stroke), back crawl, breaststroke and butterfly. Personal Water Safety: This tract includes the use of lifejacket skills, swimming and self rescue techniques, and basic safety rules for boating and open water. Fitness Swimmer: Swimmers will learn to use a pace clock, pull buoys, fins and hand paddles, and also learn training principles. Successful completion of this level is swimming all strokes in accordance with the passing requirements of each stroke, as well as performing the exit skills assessments.
