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.
