Fall PARK & REC GUIDE 2021 CHILDREN’S SWIM LESSON LEVEL DESCRIPTIONS Not sure what swim lesson level to put your child in? Take a look at these level descriptions and talk to the manager and ask them to make a recommendation. PARENT & CHILD (6 MONTHS TO 3 YEARS OLD) This class is offered to give you and your child guided time in the pool without the frenzy of the public swim atmosphere. The instructor introduces you to the pool, the safest ways to enter a pool with a child, and gives you an idea of the skills that are taught in the lower levels of the Learn-to-Swim program. Some of these skills include floats, glides, arm actions and leg action. PRE-AQUATICS (3 –5 YRS.) This class focuses on water adjustment. It is a good starting place for 3 – 5 year olds who are new to the water. Students work on becoming comfortable in the water and learn to float with support. Students learn basic swimming skills (front and back crawl arms and kicks) and safety skills. LEVEL 1 (5 YRS. & OLDER) Students learn basic swimming skills (front and back crawl arms and kicks). Students start to learn breath control and how to combine arm strokes & kicks. Front and back glides and safety skills are also covered. During this level all skills are accom- plished with assistance but independent is encouraged and fostered. LEVEL 2 This class builds upon the basic skills learned in Level 1 and individuals become comfortable performing skills on their own with no assistance. Deep water is explored with and without floatation to increase comfort level as well. LEVEL 3 Students work on rhythmic breathing, adding distance to the front and back crawl and sidestroke. Progression in the other five strokes is also made. Deep water treading and diving are introduced along with new safety skills. LEVEL 4 Stroke finesse is the main focus of this level. Increased distances improve endurance of the basic strokes, while instruction and practice help to develop the more advanced breast- stroke and sidestroke. Participants also earn open turns to become more efficient swimmers. Progress is also made in diving skills. LEVEL 5/6 These students desire to become more coordinated in all six strokes through increased practice and longer distances. Flip turns and diving entries are also taught and prac- ticed to increase efficiency while swimming. *** Graduates of our swim lesson program often enroll in Junior Lifeguard and Lifeguard certification classes, swim with competitive teams, or at the high school level. New London Parks & Recreation Guide PAGE 20
Fall PARK & REC GUIDE 2021 THE ROLE OF A SWIMMING INSTRUCTOR Your child’s lesson instructor is their hands-on access to progressing through each level. Instructors are responsible for approving skills and completing the checklist. Instructors are trained by going through pre-lesson training, co-teaching, meetings, taking the American Red Cross Water Safety Instructor class and/or following a prescribed lesson plan. It is our intention to keep the same instructor with a class throughout a session. Although we attempt this, your child may not always have the same instructor. Our instructors are mostly high school and college students who are involved with many other activities. If an instructor needs a sub and misses more than one class the instructor must try to get the same sub. The importance of fun and games: Much of a child’s early learning takes place while playing games. Images, games, and rhymes make up a child’s natural ability to imagine and pretend while learning swimming-related skills. The use of images, games, and rhymes can enhance a young child’s willingness to participate and enjoy aquatic activities. It is important to keep swimming lessons motivating, challenging and fun.
