Snohomish County has spectacular parks and recreational activity for any age and experience level. Go kayaking, climb a mountain, experience our beautiful outdoors. This guide will help lead you to your next adventure!”

Summer Sandlot Baseball Camp

Willis Tucker Community Park 6705 Puget Park Drive Snohomish, WA 98296

This camp is designed to teach skills of the game and ‘How to Play the Game’ of Baseball and participants will be grouped by age: 6-7, 8-9, 10-12 so the teaching approach, drills and game activities are specific for each age group. The objective of the camp is for ALL kids to be moving, involved and learning at all times. Most drills have 100% of the kids working at the same time; almost never are kids ‘lined up waiting’. Other drills are run with kids in small groups of 4-5 (maximum) and usually two or three in that group are participating in a drill repetition. Each repetition is only a few seconds, so down time for those waiting is, in reality, just enough time to ‘catch their breath’. The key component to the games focus of the camp is that the kids do not pitch. Min. 15 Max. 38

Supplies: Campers must wear athletic clothing appropriate for baseball, and bring each day: lunch/snacks/water bottle and their own baseball bat/glove properly labeled with name and phone number.

Preschool Swim Lessons - Ages 3 to under 6 yearsMin 3 - Max 4 students per InstructorPreschool group water adjustment and swim lessons are designed for children 3 to under 6 years of age without the assistance of their parents. The first two preschool levels are primarily taught in water ranging from 6” to 2.5 feet. The shallow water provides a comfortable and friendly learning environment in which your children can move around independently. In addition, we offer gender specific Pre-School One Classes. If your child would benefit from participating in a boys or girls only environment, this option is available. Beginning at Preschool Three, students are gradually introduced to more complex skills in the shallow end of the main pool.

With four levels of preschool classes, careful review of the primary learning objectives is very important prior to registration. By doing so, you will increase the likelihood of placing your child in the most appropriate level. Proper placement will enhance his or her experience and will help create a better learning environment for every student in the class.

If your child is between the ages of 3 and 4 years and you feel they may still benefit from parent/caregiver assistance, we recommend Aqua Tots prior to entering the Preschool Program.

Preschool Level 1:Upon successful completion of Preschool Level 1, the learner will be able to:

Youth Swim Lessons - Ages 6 to 17 yearsMin 3 - Max 6 students per InstructorStudents can progress through six levels of swimming and safety skills. When students can comfortably and confidently perform all of the skills and meet the required benchmarks for technique, skill and distance, they can progress to the next level. A word of caution: Many parents and caretakers make the common mistake, thinking that once their child has gained the ability to swim a width of the pool that the child is indeed a competent swimmer, which IS NOT the case! Surprisingly, less than 25% of 5th grade students in Snohomish County have swimming skills at Youth Level 4 or higher. We encourage everyone to work through Level 6. Developing strong swimming skills and independent water safety occurs in the higher Youth Levels.

Youth Level 1:*Max 5 students - Upon successful completion of Level 1, the learner will be able to:

Youth Level 4:Upon successful completion of Level 4, the learner will be able to:

SWIMMINGAdult Swim Lessons - 18 years and upMin 3 - Max 6 students per InstructorLearning to swim isn’t just for kids. For some Adult Swim Lessons fulfils a lifelong goal, for others it is about Fitness and for others it’s about enjoying what makes up 70% of the earth’s surface- WATER! with friends and family. To help everyone achieve their goals, chose from one of three levels designed specifically for you. Adult Lessons are truly for Adults only and are scheduled when only those 18 years and older are permitted in the facility.

BENEFITS OF SWIMming• Improves posture, flexibility, muscular endurance, strength and

balance

• Stimulates circulation and promotes proper breathing

• Creates muscle tone

• Rehabilitates under-used or healing muscles (aquatic therapy)

• Helps to combat the aging process

• It’s low impact... the water makes the body almost weightless, greatly diminishing the impact on joints

• Great cardiovascular workout (swimming has a calorie-burning potential of 350-420 calories per hour)

• Uses almost all the major muscle groups, and places a vigorous demand on your heart and lungs

Adult Beginner-Level 1 This class is designed to introduce the inexperienced or fearful adult to the water. The objective of this course is to help students to feel and become more comfortable in the water and enjoy the water safely. Students will learn how to enter and exit the pool safely, blow bubbles, breath control, rhythmic breathing and change of direction. They will experience buoyancy and loss of support with comfort. As they build their confidence, students will learn proper kicking and body position on both front and back with proper flutter kick. They will learn how to travel through the water using Front Crawl, Back Crawl, Elementary Backstroke, and basic safety skills are covered.

Adult Intermediate-Level 2Swimming for Health. Learn the benefits of swimming as exercise, perfect swim strokes for recreational swimmers or just feel comfortable swimming lengths in the pool. For learners with some swim ability this level develops confidence and endurance to master Freestyle and Backstroke. Students are introduced to Breaststroke, Sidestroke and Butterfly. Treading water and recovery to a swimming position is mastered. Basic flip turns and turning at the wall are introduced.

Adult Advanced-Level 3Learn the benefits of swimming as exercise and develop workout plans with your instructor. This class is designed to give adult learners the option to design their own goals with the help of a qualified instructor. The focus of this level is to work on proper timing, technique and stroke refinement in order to achieve more ease, efficiency, power and endurance. Further coordination of the basic strokes is emphasized so that the student can swim smoothly over longer distances. More advanced turns at the wall, and safety skills are mastered.

Aqua Tots - 9 months to 48 monthsMin 5 - Max 10 students per InstructorAqua Tots is a rewarding water experience for adults with young children. It introduces infants and toddlers to the joys of water activity while developing very basic skills, and teaches parent/caregivers how to ensure safety at all times. Aqua Tots is a two-part program for young children and their parents/caregivers. Children as young as 9 months are able to start the program. Children stay with the program until they are ready to move up to Preschool Lessons, sometime after they reach three or four years of age. Aqua Tots is about learning together in the water while you play and have fun. It’s about helping your child feel comfortable in the water while promoting water safety. It’s about building confidence in the water through encouragement, exploration and support.

A PROVEN APPROACH!Aqua Tots helps prevent injuries. It teaches you:

• How to prepare before you go in or near the water by taking the right equipment, checking the environment, and planning an emergency response

• Stay safe during activity in or near the water, by properly supporting and supervising your child

• Survive if something goes wrong, by knowing how to perform a rescue and get help

Aqua Tots I • Ages 9 to 24 monthsAqua Tots I encourages children and parents to become comfortable and safe in the water. Primary objectives include: Child initiated pouring of water on his or her face, head and body; blowing bubbles at the surface; assisted front and back floats with rolling over; assisted glides through the water, basic arm and/or leg movements.

Aqua Tots II • Ages 20 to 48 monthsAqua Tots II encourages children and parents to become more water safe while increasing readiness skills. Primary objectives include: Student initiated movement above and under water, rhythmic breathing, front and back floats and glides, kicking while on front and back, front and back glides with kick, changing direction and rudimentary front swim.
