Swim Instruction Programs

Level Descriptions:

Toddler (3 years & Parent Required): These lessons are a transition class from Water Babies to Swim Lessons. In this 3 year old only class, kids are taught basic water safety skills with the assistance of an instructor and their parents. The goal of the class is to start with parent help in the water and by the end the kids are learning from the instructor on their own!

Preschool (4-5 years): These lessons are an introduction to basic skills such as entering the water, blowing bubbles, bobbing, floating, and kicking on front/back. As kids progress, they will learn how to swim using combined arm & leg actions on their front & back. The skills learned in this program will allow kids to explore the aquatic environment and to implement beginner safety practices when being in, on, or around the water. 

Beginner School Age(6-14 years): This class is an introduction to basic skills such as entering the water, blowing bubbles, bobbing, floating, and kicking on front/back. As kids gain more experience in the water they will begin to float on their front and back as well as swim with combined arm and leg actions on their front and back. The primary goal is to expand a kid's knowledge and skills of being safe in, on, and around the water.

Intermediate School Age (6-14): The skills taught in the previous levels prepare them for this level in that they will learn to become self-sufficient and safe swimmers. They will develop their front crawl, elementary backstroke as well as learn the basics of back crawl, breaststroke, butterfly, and side stroke. 

Hurricane Swim League (6-17 years) (Advanced): The Hurricane Swim League is the City Pool's version of advanced swim lessons. After passing Intermediate lessons, the Hurricane Swim League is the next recommended level. For more information and to register for Hurricanes, click this link, Hurricane Swim League.
