Swim lesson programs are designed to teach individuals of all ages and skill levels how to swim and improve their swimming abilities. These programs typically offer a range of classes, including group classes, private lessons, and parent-child classes.
Group swim lessons are usually organized by age and skill level. In these classes, several swimmers learn together under the instruction of a certified swim instructor. The instructor will typically lead the group through a series of drills and exercises to help each swimmer improve their swimming technique.
Private swim lessons offer one-on-one instruction between a swimmer and an instructor. These lessons can be tailored to the swimmer's specific needs and skill level. Private lessons are often used for individuals who may have a fear of the water, need help with a specific skill or stroke, or simply want more individualized attention.
Parent-child swim classes are designed for young children and their parents or guardians to learn and play together in the water. These classes help to build confidence in young swimmers and teach basic water safety skills.
Swim lesson programs may also offer advanced classes for competitive swimmers, such as stroke clinics and endurance training. Additionally, some programs may include aquatic exercise classes for adults or other specialized classes for individuals with disabilities. Overall, swim lesson programs are designed to teach and improve swimming skills while promoting water safety and enjoyment.
Swim lessons are typically divided into different levels based on a swimmer's skill and experience. While the specific names and criteria may vary depending on the organization or instructor, here are some common levels of swim lessons:
This class introduces infants to the water for the first time. The Mommy & Little Guppy 1 class will help educate the parents how to swim safely with their child. While introducing water play and submersion.
Coming from Mommy & Little Guppy 1 our babies are now aware of splashing and playing in and around the water. This class involves lots of songs and games. This class focuses on back floating and introduces swimming to and from the wall.
In this class it is always lots of fun to see just how far our little swimmers can go. We sing and play games to get our swimmers comfortable and trusting that the water can be fun and safe. The instructor will introduce blowing bubbles, putting the child's face in the water, independent water movement, intro to streamline, jumping in, and resurfacing to the wall.
This class focuses on the importance of turning over and floating onto their back. Reviewing Turtle 1 by swimming to and from the wall with our streamline arms. Our little swimmers will be grasping the importance of our "Reach, kick, kick SWIM" method. While focusing mainly on mastering our back float. We will be practicing jumping in and turning over to float.
This focuses ideally on the development of the proper kick. We practice with and without kick boards to build our swimmers level of endurance for the water. We will teach the understanding of (front stream line) as well as (back stream line). Once your child moves up to the next level they will have learned and can demonstrate proper kicking.
Swimmers in this level will focus on arm, leg, and body coordination. As well as learning how to sustain strokes and breathing while in the water. These techniques will be applied for the following strokes; Dolphin Stroke, Freestyle, and Breast Stroke. In order to move up each swimmer will have to master arm, leg, and breathing coordination.
In this class swimmers will learn freestyle stroke. Instructors will cretic and make sure our swimmers understand the proper arm coordination while mastering breathing. This will provide our swimmers with the concept of our (zip up, reach) technique. After taking Dolphin 1 our swimmers will have mastered their freestyle stroke.
In this level our swimmers will be introduced to the back stroke. This class will train swimmers how to coordinate their back-stroke arms correctly, master shoulder roll, and combine the two skills. This will train them how to properly do the back stroke. This class is sometimes difficult for our little swimmers due to the amount of full body work that is applied into this stroke. Once these techniques are learned the swimmer will have mastered the back stroke.
This class will give the guidance to teach proper breast stroke. Starting with proper breast stroke arms. Giving the children full understanding on how to put breast stroke arms and legs together. Once the child combines those two concepts/skills they will have mastered the breast stroke.
In this class our swimmers will learn intro to butterfly arms, butterfly legs, and breathing. Once these skills are applied and the child fully comprehends the coordination of using these skills. The butterfly stroke will be fully mastered. Swimmers will be tested and evaluated to make sure they have succeeded in learning the proper arm, leg, and breathing techniques for this stroke. With (Sting Ray 2) being the last level in our program.
This class is for adults who are wanting the understanding of basic water skills and finding the comfort to fully be submerged into the water. We will build the core foundation of water safety. Introduction to front and back stream line. This class will educate adults on water safety and begging steps to learn to swim independently. Each adult swim lesson varies on the individual but will be a 4-week session. (no makeups)
This class is designed for adults who will be taught the core foundation of swim strokes. Intro to freestyle stroke, breast stroke, back stroke, and butterfly stroke. After they complete this 4-week session they will have better understanding and knowledge of all four swim strokes. Every adult swim session will be a 4-week session. (no makeups)
Again, the names and specific criteria for each level may differ depending on the organization or instructor. Some programs may have more levels, or may use different criteria to assess swimmers' skills and progress.
