Group
Swimming Lessons
Lakeside Swim Club proudly offers swim lessons based
on the American Red Cross Learn to Swim Program. The Learn to Swim Program
is designed to teach all those interested in learning to swim, from
the Aqua-Tot to the experienced adult. Pre-school and all levels of
Children’s Learn to Swim lessons will be offered during each session
at each of the times listed. However, participation interest may necessitate
a class time or session change for your child.
Pre-School
Learn to Swim–Ages 3-5 years:
Our class helps the preschool child learn to swim independently. Instructors
will teach basic swimming skills such as blowing bubbles, floating and
kicking on front and back, freestyle arm strokes and basic safety guidelines.
The skills learned from this class will prepare your swimmer for our
“Children’s Learn to Swim” program. Eight classes
will last 30 minutes each.
Children’s
Learn to Swim–Ages 5 and older:
Skills taught range from prone floating to learning all four competitive
strokes. We have designed this program around six specific levels. Please
indicate the children’s level on the registration form. Eight
classes will last 45 minutes each.
Levels 1 and 2 –
Fundamental Aquatic Skills
Students begin by becoming acclimated in the water and
learning basic skills such as floating, kicking and introductory arm
strokes. Participants should be comfortable in the water and with a
group lesson setting.
Levels 3 and 4 – Stroke Development
The coordination of the freestyle stroke with rotary
breathing is one focus of Level 3. Other skills to be taught include
backstroke, elementary backstroke, treading water and surface diving.
Participants must have passed Level 2 or the equivalent prior to registering
for this class.
Levels 5 and 6–Stroke Refinement and Beyond
In these levels students enhance previously learned strokes and increase
their endurance while being introduced to the breaststroke, sidestroke
and butterfly. Front and back open turns, stride jump entry and racing
dive are incorporated into these advanced levels. Participants must
have passed Level 4 or the equivalent prior to registration.
