Lesson Definitions:

Parent and Tot (PT): Infants and toddlers between the ages of 6 months and 3 years with a parent in the water. Instruction focuses on familiarizing the children with water and includes fun and easy games.

Water Exploration (WE): Designed for toddlers between three and five years old who still have some doubts about the water. These students generally won't put their face or head under water and won’t venture far from the side of the pool unassisted. The Water Exploration curriculum aims to allay children's fears of water and to teach them the most basic motions of swimming (kicking and pulling).

Primary Skills (PS): Designed for children who have little or no fear of water, would submerge their head completely, and would walk away from the side of the pool in areas in which they could stand. However, Primary Skill students can't swim on their own. This lesson teaches floating, gliding, and movement skills with the goal of swimming 6-8 feet independently.

Stroke Readiness (SR): Designed for children who can swim 2-3 yards by themselves on either their stomach or back. Stroke Readiness students learn the basics of competitive front crawl (freestyle) and backstroke, including rotary breathing. At the completion of Stroke Readiness, students should be able to swim half the length of a short course (25 yard) swimming pool without help.

Stroke Development (SD): Designed for children who can swim front crawl (freestyle) and backstroke for 12 yards or more on their own. Stroke Development seeks to increase the sleekness and efficiency of a student's swimming by correcting mistakes in fundamental stroke mechanics and introduce them to competivite backstroke.
