SUMMER SWIM
If you don't already know how to swim or you are not a good swimmer, the best thing you can do to stay safe in and around the water is to learn to swim. Learning to swim is fun and probably easier than you think. Learning to swim can open a whole new world of enjoyment and recreational activity.
COURSE OVERVIEW
The new American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim classes provide instruction to help swimmers of all ages and abilities develop their swimming and water safety skills. It is designed to give students a positive learning experience.
Learn-to-Swim teaches aquatic and safety skills in a logical progression. The objective is to teach people to swim and to be safe in, on and around the water.
Skills are categorized in the following way:
- Water Entry and Exit
- Breath Control and Underwater Swimming
- Buoyancy
- Changing Direction and Position
- Treading
- Swimming on Front, Back and Side
- General and Personal Water Safety
- Helping Others
The six learn-to-swim levels and the objectives for each level include:
Level 1
Introduction to Water Skills: helps students feel comfortable in the water and to enjoy the water safely.
Level 2
Fundamental Aquatic Skills: gives students success with fundamental skills.
Level 3
Stroke Development: builds on the skills in Level 2 by providing additional guided practice.
Level 4
