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 You Tube. Level 2: Safety Fundamentals is divided into Level 3: Stroke Development is divided into six skills: six 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 Skill 3 is Back Float Skill 3 is Pat the Dog Skill 4 is Dog Paddling (face down) Skill 4 is Freestyle Breathing Skill 5 is Back Kicking with arms at sides Skill 5 is Backstroke Skill 6 is Safety Awareness and combines all skills in the shallow Skill 6 is Freestyle 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 level 4 but we will provide instruction for swimmers who are above level 3. Swimmers will be introduced to and taught: Beginning Breaststroke, Butterfly, Treading Water, Surface Dives, Standing Front Dive & Flip Turns. After this level swimmers would be encouraged to possibly joining Seacoast Swim Club. Swimmers with hair that is 3 inches or longer must wear swim caps. 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. Private Swim Lessons (By Appointment) $25.00 per ½ hour session Register online then contact Aquatics Director Rob Hale @ rhale@msad51.org to schedule day(s) and time(s). Lessons are usually scheduled Saturday afternoon. There are some Monday and Wednesday evening times (6–7:30pm) available starting after February school break. 16 www.cumberlandmaine.com
