PARENT AND CHILD AQUATICS This program is designed for children 18 months to 3 years of age and their parents. Participants will practice blowing bubbles; explore submerging the mouth, nose, eyes and head completely; explore buoyancy on the front and back; gliding on the front and back with assistance; explore submerging in a rhythmic pattern; beginning swimming using combined arm and leg action on the front and back with assistance; changing body position in the water. Children must wear a swim diaper with a swimsuit over it until they are potty trained. Children ages 9 months - 17 months may register in the class, however the curriculum will be geared to ages 18 months to 3 years. Classes consist of eight (8) 25-minute lessons; four (4) days a week for two (2) weeks.
LEVEL 4 STROKE IMPROVEMENT 10 a.m., 5 p.m.
This session develops students’ confidence in the strokes learned in Level 3 and improves other aquatic skills. Students will learn headfirst entries from the side in the compact and stride position; swim underwater; feet-first surface dives; survival swimming; front crawl and backstroke open turns; and treading water using two different kicks. The class will focus on improvement in basic swim strokes. Classes consist of eight (8) 45- minute lessons; four (4) days a week for two (2) weeks.

LEVEL 5 STROKE IMPROVEMENT 11 a.m., 6 p.m.
Students refine all six strokes: the front and back crawl, elementary backstroke, breaststroke, sidestroke and butterfly, increasing the distances that they swim. The course includes introduction to the following: shallow angle dives from the side and then glide and begin a stroke on the front, touch and pike surface dives (submerging completely), front flip and backstroke turns and proper sculling techniques. Classes consist of eight (8) 45-minute lessons; four (4) days a week for two (2) weeks. (Prerequisite: Completion of American Red Cross Swimming Level 4)
LEVEL 6 STROKE IMPROVEMENT Noon, 7 p.m.
Students work to refine strokes so that they swimmore efficiently and effectively over longer distances. Special emphasis on knee-dive, forward dive fall-in and standing dive from the poolside, as well as from the 1-meter diving board. The course teaches 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; four (4) days a week for two (2) weeks. (Prerequisite: Completion of American Red Cross Swimming Level 5)
LEVEL 3 STROKE DEVELOPMENT 1 p.m., 8 p.m.
Builds on the skills in Level 2 by providing additional guided practice.This course teaches students how to coordinate the front crawl and back crawl, the elementary backstroke and fundamentals of treading water.
