Saturday mornings during the school year, this is our small group (4 - 6 per instructor depending on the level) progressive level lesson format for children ages 4-13. Sandpiper, Skimmer, Plover, Puffin, Pelican Gull, Petrel.
Advanced youth swimmers (Flamingo, Osprey, Seahawks, Falcons) can choose an early Saturday morning lesson right after our Varsity swim team or may like to participate in Youth Fitness swim.
*Fall Classes FULL except a few advanced levels*
Guided swim workout, NOT a traditional "lesson", for water competent school-aged swimmers interested in fitness. This program builds on previously learned basic skills and is a good bridge between intermediate level lessons and school swim teams.
Minimum pre-requisites apply as follows: (Ask to be tested at Public Swim as of September 5th)
- Be able to enter deep water feet first from the side, fully submerge and recover to surface without assistance
- Swim front crawl stroke 25 meters
- Maintain position on back for 1 minute in deep water while floating or sculling
- Swim backstroke 15 meters
-Safely exit the water
Generally, this program is appropriate for swimmers who have previously participated in our Youth Learn to Swim advanced levels: Petrels, Flamingos, Osprey, Seahawks or Falcons or an American Red Cross level 4 and above at another facility. Some Gulls may enjoy this program as a means to build endurance through drills. This program will NOT involve direct contact between instructors and participants. Instructors will primarily remain out of the water unless a demonstration or safety situation requires their entry. Lifeguards will be on duty.
