Beginner swim lessons are for beginner swimmers ages 6-up that need to learn the basics of swimming. This class is intended to introduce non/novice swimmers to basic swimming and water skills such as: retrieval of objects from 5ft depth, front and back float without assistant, roll from front float to back float, back crawl for half a length of pool, assisted front crawl with rotary breathing, and jumping into 5ft depth of pool. Class goal is to enable students to take skills introduced from assisted to unassisted and from use of floatation devices to swimming without one.***Please note: a use of a floatation device will be use in class on a child until the instructor feels child is ready to go without one. Also, skills taught are not limited to the above mentioned.
