Parent and Child Aquatics (PCA)FOR 6-MONTHS TO 3-YEAR-OLDS

Parents and children learn together to increase a child’s comfort level in the water and build a foundation of basic skills. The two levels are fun-filled and help introduce water safety concepts, encouraging a healthy recreational habit.

Level 1: Basic skills of buoyancy on front and back, entries and exits, and submersions are taught to parents and children to help orient them to the water and to help them develop a level of comfort in the water.

Level 2: Builds upon the skills learned in Level 1 and provides experiences and activities to develop advanced skills without support from parents.

Preschool Aquatics (PRE) FOR 3- TO 5-YEAR-OLDS

Throughout the three levels, preschool-age children are taught basic aquatic safety and progressive swimming skills, while increasing their comfort level in and around the water with age-appropriate skills.

Level 1: Orients children to the aquatic environment and helps them gain basic aquatic skills.

Level 2: Helps children gain greater independence in their skills and develop more comfort in and around the water.

Level 3: Helps children start to gain basic swimming propulsive skills to be comfortable in and around water.

Learn-to-Swim (LTS) FOR 6-YEAR-OLDS TO TEENS

Designed to help participants achieve maximum success, Learn-to-Swim courses are based on a logical, six-level progression that helps swimmers of various ages and abilities develop their water safety, survival, and swim skills.

Level 1: Introduction to Water SkillsHelps participants feel comfortable in the water and includes skills such as entry/exit, floating, supported gliding, and basic water safety rules.

Level 2: Fundamental Aquatic SkillsGives participants success with fundamental skills including breath-holding, retrieving objects, combined stroke, front and back floating with minimal support, and personal safety and rescue skills.

Level 3: Stroke DevelopmentBuilds on skills in Level 2 and includes deep-water skills, diving from a kneeling position, back and

survival floats, treading water, and flutter and dolphin kicks (no support).

Level 4: Stroke ImprovementDevelops confidence in skills learned and improves other aquatic skills such as swimming underwater and various strokes (elementary backstroke, breaststroke, sidestroke, and butterfly).

Level 5: Stroke RefinementProvides further coordination and refinement of strokes. Includes skills such as sculling, stride jump entry, tuck and pike surface dives, and front and back flip turns while swimming.

Level 6: Swimming and Skill ProficiencyRefines the strokes so participants swim them with ease, efficiency, power, and smoothness over greater distances. Level 6 is designed with “menu” options that focus on preparing participants for more advanced courses. Options include Fitness Swimming, Personal Water Safety, and Fundamentals of Diving.
