Teen, Adult & Senior Beginner (Swim Basics 1)
Working at your own pace, we will help increase your comfort level and
confidence in the water. This level is for those looking to learn how to put their
face in the water, through to those looking to learn how to float, glide and
swim on their front. Teens, adults and seniors will work with the instructor
to set realistic, personalized goals.
Teen, Adult & Senior Intermediate (Swim Basics 2)
Work with your Water Safety Instructor on a personalized program to develop
the basics of swimming strokes. This course focuses on developing kicking
as well as breathing, coordination and timing for front and back crawl.
Swimmers will also work on increasing comfort in deep water and increasing
swimming distances.
Teen, Adult & Senior Advanced (Swim Strokes)
We will help you develop one or more swimming strokes, working toward
proficiency and increased endurance. Work with the Water Safety Instructor to
choose the strokes and set your goals and priorities. Perfect for those looking
to develop their strokes before joining a swim club or training for a triathlon.
