Youth Swim Lessons
Fall Youth Swim Lessons (GHS Pool)                           Please see below for individual level descriptions
Parent/Child Swim (30 min)
For parent and child, 6 months to 3 1/2 yrs. The purpose of this class is to familiarize families with the pool and
to begin the process of assimilating your child for swim lessons. This class is not designed to teach children to
survive in the water on their own. The major focus of this class will be to have fun with your child while learning
some of the basics such as proper holds. Instruction will be geared to the parent. A clean swim diaper is required
under a snug fitting bathing suit for children who are not potty trained.
Lessons Information: Children need to follow simple commands from their instructor. Trust is important and
crucial for positive progress. Parents are welcome to watch from the bleachers. Our classes are organized initially
by age (for first time preschoolers) with a ratio of 1:4, instructor to student. For children 6 and up the instructor to
student ratio will depend on the skill group your child is working on. We follow USWIM progressions Level 2 and 3.
See below for skills and for more detail parents can view all the levels on YouTube.
Level 2, Safety Fundamentals, is divided into six             Level 3, Stroke Development, is divided into six
skills:                                                       skills:
Skill 1 is Breath Control                                     Skill 1 is Streamlined Kick (with face in)
Skill 2 is Streamlined (front) Float                          Skill 2 is Beginner Freestyle

shallow end and progresses to the deep end of the pool.
Level 4:
In the USWIM curriculum we use for our lesson, there is not a designated level but we will provide instruction
for swimmers who are above level 3. Swimmers will be introduced and taught: Beginning Breaststroke, Butterfly,
Treading Water, Surface Dives, Standing Front Dive & Flip Turns. After this level, swimmers would be encouraged
to join the Seacoast Swim Club.
Swimmers with hair that is 3 inches or longer must wear bathing caps. Available from lifeguards ($5). Goggles are
required in all learn to swim programs. For children as young as 3 learning to wear goggles is as much a part of
the lesson as getting in the water. They should be comfortable and fit properly.
Parents, swimmers and spectators are required to remove shoes before entering the pool area.
