The course includes introduction to the following: shallow angle dives from the side and then glide and begin a stroke on the front, tuck and pike surface dives (submerging completely), front flip and backstroke turns and proper sculling techniques. Classes consist of eight (8) 45-minute lessons; two (2) days a week for four (4) weeks. (Prerequisite: Completion of American Red Cross Swimming Level 4)
LEVEL 6 STROKE IMPROVEMENT 7 p.m.
LEVEL 3 STROKE DEVELOPMENT Mon./Wed.–4 p.m. Tues./Thur.–4 p.m. and 6 p.m. (Level 3 class only)
Students work to refine strokes so that they swim more efficiently and effectively over longer distances. Special emphasis on knee-dive, forward dive fall-in and standing dive from the pool side, as well as from the 1-meter diving board. The course teaches1 students how to prevent aquatic emergencies in various aquatic environments, introduction to self-rescue, the HELP and huddle positions, survival float in deep water, back float in deep water and survival swimming. Classes consist of eight (8) 45-minute lessons; two (2) days a week for four (4) weeks. (Prerequisite: Completion of American Red Cross Swimming Level 5)
Builds on the skills in Level 2 by providing additional guided practice.
