Level I Aquatic Adaptation *(3:1)
Ages 4 and up (Beginner non- swimmer)
This level is geared to provide a solid base of swimming experience for the first time swimmer. Breath control, buoyancy, supported kicking & paddling, submerging, and the fundamentals of proper body positions are the key skills for the beginner swimmer.

Level IA Buoyancy, Balance and Control *(3:1)
Students in this level will continue to develop basic swimming skills to become stronger and more efficient in the water. Students learn proper breath exchange for unassisted swimming and floating. Prone gliding, paddling & kicking underwater, and finding their float positions are the focus. Assisted elementary backstroke (Tickle -T - Snap) is introduced.

Level IA/IIB Transition to Propulsion
Students in this level can glide and paddle and pop for short distances independently. The focus is on finding float positions, turning to backfloat unassisted, and becoming proficient in swimming for longer distances.
|
Level IIB Endurance Development *(3:1)
This is the formative level from the buoyancy skills to learning stroke technique. Swimmers will begin swimming longer distances to develop strength and endurance using back floats for rest. Elementary backstroke is refined. Kicking on back in proper body alignment is developed. Backstroke and teading water are introduced in this level.
|
Level IIB/II Transition to Stroke Technique *(3:1)
This level is for those swimmers who can confidently perform all level IIB skills. Students should be able to swim with paddles and pops under control and switch to elementary backstroke for the length of the pool without assistance. Backstroke is refined and long-axis swimming skills are introduced. Students will begin to learn 1,2,3 and breathe (freestyle) with an apparatus. Treading water is developed for endurance in this level.
|
Level II Long-axis-swimming *(3:1)
As students become stronger and aware of their buoyancy positions, advanced swimming strokes are introduced. Rotary breathing, long axis drills for freestyle and backstroke are developed. Students will also be introduced to short axis strokes such as breastroke kick and diving is further developed.
|
Level II/IIA - Transition to Stroke Development * (3:1)
This level is for those swimmers who can confidently perform all level II skills. Rotary breathing and long axis drills for freestyle and backstroke are refined. Endurance is built and introduction to short axis strokes including breaststroke kick and body dolphins are continued.
|
Level IIA Stroke Development *(3:1)
This class builds on the foundation of skills taught in the earlier stages of Level IIA. Swimmers build endurance in freestyle and backstroke through interval training.. Swimmers also develop proper body mechanics and buoyancy positioning for each of the strokes. Breaststroke and body dolphins butterfly are developed.

Level III Advanced Stroke Technique *(3:1)
The focus of this level is on developing efficiency for the racing swimmer. Swimmers will become more proficient in freestyle, backstroke and breaststroke, while being introduced to the core fundamentals of butterfly. Advanced coordination drills are introduced for fluid mechanics. Interval training workouts are implemented to build strength and endurance.
