• Swimming Lessons At-A-Glance

  Below is a full list of the programs we will be offering this summer!

  Parent & Tot (Ages 4 months - 3 years)

   

  Spend quality time with your child while you both have fun and learn and socialize. Through structured in-water interaction between parent and child, we stress the importance of play in developing water-positive attitudes and skills.

  Parent & Tot 1/2 Class Length: 30 min	Ages 4 months to 24 months	Designed for the 4 to 24-month-old to learn to enjoy the water with the parent.
  Parent & Tot 3 Class Length: 30 min	Ages 2 - 3	Designed for the 2 to 3-year-old to learn to enjoy the water with the parent.

  Preschool (Ages 3 - 5)

  The Lifesaving Society Preschool program gives children a head start on learning to swim. Preschool programs develop an appreciation and healthy respect for the water before these kids get in too deep. In our five basic aquatic progressions we work to ensure 3 to 5-year-olds become comfortable in the water and have fun developing a foundation of water skills. Targeted Water Smart® drowning prevention messages are an integral part of the Swim for Life® program. These messages are delivered in all Preschool levels.

  Preschool 1 Class Length: 30 min	Ages 3-5	These preschoolers will have fun learning to get in and out of the water. We'll help them jump into chest deep water. They'll float and glide on their front and back and learn to get their faces wet and blow bubbles underwater.
  Preschool 2 Class Length: 30 min	Ages 3-5, successful completion of Preschool 1	These advanced beginners will jump into deeper water, and learn to be comfortable falling sideways into the water wearing a life jacket. They'll be able to support themselves at the surface without an aid, learn whip kick, swim 10 m on their front and back, and be introduced to flutter kick interval training (4 x 5 m)
  Preschool 3 Class Length: 30 min	Ages 3-5, successful completion of Preschool 2	These youngsters will try both jumping and a sideways entry into deep water while wearing a life jacket. They'll recover objects from the bottom in waist-deep water. They'll work on kicking and gliding through the water on their front and back.
  Preschool 4 Class Length: 30 min	Ages 3-5, successful completion of Preschool 3	Advanced preschoolers will learn to do solo jumps into deeper water and get out by themselves. They'll do sideways entries and open their eyes underwater. They'll master a short swim on their front wearing a life jacket and gliding and kicking on their side.
  Preschool 5 Class Length: 30 min	Ages 3-5, successful completion of Preschool 4	These youngsters get more adventuresome with a forward roll entry wearing a life jacket and treading water for 10 sec. They'll work on front and back crawl swims for 5 m, interval training and get a giggle out of whip kick.

  Swimmer (Ages 5 - 12)

  The Lifesaving Society Swimmer program makes sure children learn how to swim before they get in too deep. Progressions accommodate 5 to 12-year-olds including beginners and swimmers who want to build on the basics. Lots of in-water practice develops solid swimming strokes and skills. Targeted Water Smart® drowning prevention messages are an integral part of the Swim for Life® program. These messages are delivered in all Swimmer levels.

  Swimmer 2 Class Length: 30 min	Ages 5-12, successful completion of Swimmer 1	These advanced beginners will jump into deeper water and learn to be comfortable falling sideways into the water wearing a life jacket.

  Swimmer 3 Class Length: 30 min	Ages 5-12, successful completion of Swimmer 2	These junior swimmers will dive and do in-water front somersaults and handstands. They'll work on 15 m of front crawl, back crawl and 10 m of whip kick. Flutter kick interval training increases to 4 x 15 m.
  Swimmer 4 Class Length: 30 min	Ages 5-12, successful completion of Swimmer 3	These intermediate swimmers will swim 5 m underwater and lengths of front, back crawl, whip kick, and breaststroke arms with breathing.

Then they'll pick up the pace in 25 m sprints and two interval training bouts: 4 x 50 m front or back crawl; and 4 x 15 m breaststroke.
  Swimmer 6 Class Length: 45 min	Ages 5-12, successful completion of Swimmer 5	These advanced swimmers will rise to the challenge of sophisticated aquatic skills including stride entries, compact jumps and lifesaving kicks like eggbeater and scissor kick.

First aid focuses on assessment of unconscious victims, treatment of victims in shock and obstructed airway procedures. Skill drills develop a strong lifesaving foundation.
  Swimmer 9 – Star Patrol Class Length: 45 min	Ages 8-13, successful completion of Swimmer 8 – Ranger Patrol	Star Patrol demands good physical conditioning and lifesaving judgment.
