Swimming Lessons, Building Skills (1) - for younger kids
Coordinators: Megan Briggs and PRD Staff
We will be offering in-house swimming lessons without an affiliation to a national organization. Several of our swimming lesson staff have years of experience. These classes are structured like the popular classes we offered last year.
Each session will last a week, Monday through Friday (with the exception of Monday, July 4th), without the usual thunderstorm make-up day. We will be keeping the price, however, at what we have charged for 4 days' worth of lessons in 2019. These lessons will be held at Adams Pool.
Building Skills (1) is for any age, but we expect many of the registrants to be younger. If you have an older child at this skill level, please consider the Building Skills (2) which was scheduled for the older swimmers in mind. Some prerequisites are: ability to put one's face in the water, float 7 to 10 seconds, move above and below the water. The depth of the shallow end of the pool, where this group will be taught, is about 3 feet so we request that the participant be at least three feet tall or be able to hold onto the side of the pool independently. If not, consider enrolling your child in Learning Basics as many of these kids will have access to life jackets.
Purpose: This class is primarily offered to build swimming skills, learning to swim on one's front and back, work on breathing patterns. Some water safety will be taught at every level. The participant is in the lesson without a care giver.
