Participants will learn personal water safety and achieve basic swimming
competency by learning two benchmark skills:
1. Swim, float, swim – sequencing from front glide, roll (front to back), back float, roll (back
to front), front glide, and exit the water
2. Jump from the pool deck, push off the bottom of pool, turn around body position, grab
back onto the wall and exit the water.
Level 1 – Participants develop comfort with underwater exploration and learn to safely exit in the
event of falling into a body of water in stage 1. This stage lays the foundation that allows for a
student’s future progress in swimming. Participants in this stage focus on the following:
- Exploring the aquatic environment and personal skills with instructor help
- Developing basic skills to propel and glide through the water with instructor help
- Learning basic aquatic safety and accepting some of the responsibility for safe practices
Level 2 – Participants focus on body position and control, directional change, and forward
movement in the water while also continuing to practice how to safely exit in the event of falling
into a body of water. Participants in this stage focus on the following:
- Exploring the aquatic environment and personal skills with instructor help
- Developing basic skills to propel and glide through the water with instructor help
- Learning basic aquatic and boating safety and accepting some of the responsibility for safe practices
