About This Activity
Description
Level 3: Stroke Readiness
To enter this level participants must be capable of independently floating and swimming 5 body lengths on their front and back with arm and leg coordination. Instructors will mainly focus on front crawl with side breathing, elementary backstroke, dolphin kick and scissor kick. Additional skills that will be introduced will include treading water and diving in water 6'-13' deep.
Swim assessments to determine the appropriate level for your child are available during our recreational swim hours. If you are new to our program, a swim assessment is strongly encouraged to ensure your child is placed in the right level.
Additionally, with the exception of Parent & Me classes, parents are not allowed in the water for any lesson and are encouraged to remain clear of the lesson area to ensure the quality of each individual lesson. Only those on the instructor’s roster will be permitted in the class and attending a different class time is not permitted. All participants must attend the class and class time in accordance with their original registration unless approved for a transfer to a different class/time.
Those interested in lap swimming during swim lessons must inquire with the front desk prior to entering the water to ensure adequate space and to pay for their swim. There is no recreational swimming during swim lesson hours.
