SWIM LESSON LEVEL PLACEMENT TESTING:                                                               

We will not be offering an Orientation Celebration this year, but if you have any questions or concerns about the level of your swimmer, please call the front office to set up a time to meet with one of our WSIs and they can assess your child’s ability for placement into the most appropriate level.

LEVELS:
Shallow End:

         Level I (Water Exploration) – Teaches children with no previous swimming experience water adjustment and basic supported swimming skills
         Level II (Primary Skills) – Emphasizes underwater exploration, unsupported locomotion, front and back combined stroke and jumping into the
                water without help. 
         Level III (Stroke Readiness) – Teaches front crawl, diving, elementary backstroke and back crawl.
         Level IV (Stroke Development) – Teaches side-stroke and breast-stroke, stressing form, coordination and endurance

Deep End:       

Level V and VI (Stroke Development, Personal Water Safety, Fitness Swimmer) – Teaches butterfly kick, underwater swimming skills and
                mastery of stroke skills. This level emphasizes on distance swimming, turns and surface dives.  It also promotes endurance swimming,
                culminating in a continuous 500-yard swim to complete class. 

-          *This is the recommended option for swimmers who would have participated in the Swim Team’s 8 & Unders.
