GROUP LESSON EVALUATION INFO

Get ready for an exciting journey in our group lessons! Before we kick off each session, we’ll assess every child’s comfort level in and around water, as well as their swimming skills. This fun evaluation will be scheduled through a link sent to all registrants, helping us place your child in the group: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, or Level 4!

 

Level 1:

 

By the end of this course, your little one will be on their way to mastering general water safety! They'll learn to float on their stomach and back, go underwater, and resurface all their own. Our core curriculum focuses on boosting their confidence in the water with exciting activities like supported float progressions, submersion skills, and jumping into the water!

Level 2

In this level, participants will dive into introductory and movement skills! They'll glide through the water on their stomach and back while essential swimming techniques. We’ll focus on elementary movement-based swimming, glide pushes from the wall and the basics of freestyle and backstroke.

Level 3

Swimmers in Level 3 will work towards swimming 8-15 meters independently using elementary strokes! They'll learn to swim on their stomach with freestyle techniques and backstroke with straight arm recovery. Our curriculum will enhance their skills with side breathing and introduce exciting techniques like breaststroke and butterfly swimming.

Level 4

Get ready for pre-competitive swimming techniques in Level 4! By the end of this course, participants will swim 25 meters of each stroke on their own and tackle more advanced drills. Our focus will be on perfecting the four strokes—freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly—while gradually swimming longer distances across the pool. Let’s make a splash!
