Levels 1-2, Beginner Station

About the Class

Swim Classes for levels 1 & 2 focus on becoming more comfortable in the water, learning the proper way to position the body while swimming, increasing the distance one can swim, and breathing effectively while swimming. The Passenger level begins with a slow and relaxed approach, offering assistance with each skill; however, by the end of the Attendant level, the student is expected to independently achieve what he or she has learned. These classes are available for ages 2 - 12, as long as the prospective student already has (at the very least) the basic swimming capabilities outlined in our Drowning Prevention Track. A free evaluation may be needed to participate in this class.
