Class Descriptions and Requirements

Level 1 Class Description & Requirements

Beginner Level

We will be taking a 'learn to swim' approach with the beginning group, breaking down the freestyle to the basics—posture and balance. You MUST be able to swim a minimum of 25 yards (one length of a standard pool) without stopping.

Level 2 Class Description & Requirements

Intermediate/Advanced

This class will concentrate on fine tuning your swimming skills. This group will emphasize posture and body position, but with a much faster progression than in Level 1. We will also cover skills for open water and the basics of a swimming workout. You should be able to swim a minimum of four (4) lengths of the pool without stopping. Notice we didn't say how FAST you had to do it! That's why you're taking the class, right?
