Stage 4 lessons are for children who have passed Stage 3 or who meet the eligibility requirements. This class is intended to build upon the swimming and water skills taught in Stage 3 and to introduce students to more challenging skills such as: Retrieval of objects from 5ft depth and return to instructor, tread water for 1 minute or longer, unassisted front and back float, front crawl, back crawl, kneeling dives and jumping from diving block. Class goal is to enable students to learn to swim without assistance, either from floatation devices or adult, so they can focus on personal water safety and achieve basic swimming competency.***Please note: a use of a floatation device may 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.
