Salmo Swim School

Group Lesson Level Descriptions:

*Children must be ready to get in the water with an instructor and without a parent. Participants are expected to be capable of sitting on the edge and follow safety rules/procedures during lesson time. Unwillingness to follow safety protocols may result in termination of lesson.*

Level I: In this 30-minute class swimmers will begin bobbing, opening eyes under the water and retrieving submerged objects. Swimmers will work on front and back floats and finning. Swimmers will continue work on water adjustment, with emphasis on breath control, human stroke and sculling on back.

Level II: This 30-minute class continues work on rotary breathing, prone and supine floats. Swimmers will begin work on the front and back crawl. Swimmers will fully submerge and hold breath.

Level III: This class increases swimming competency and teaches personal safety and rescue skills. Class skills include: buoyancy skills, breath control, front crawl, elementary back stroke, back crawl introduction, turns and water entry and exit. Swimmers will work on sitting, kneeling and standing dives and rotary breathing.

Level IV: Swimmers must be able to swim 25 yards. Continuation of floating and sculling skills. Introduction to standing front dive, rotary breathing, front crawl and back crawl and treading water. Begin techniques for breaststroke, sidestroke, and familiarization with rescue breathing.

The Muskies: Hosted by our instructor Jill for the kids who have completed our swim lesson program but still want to continue swimming. This will be a 30 minute long class that is more swim team style training than it is swim lessons. This is for the individuals who are already competent swimmers and understand all 4 strokes but are looking to build stamina while having fun!
