A
RESIDENT is any person who lives within the Corporate
City Limits of New London. This is not to be confused
with being a New London Area School District resident.
City and School boundaries are not the same.
A
NON-RESIDENT is anyone who does NOT RESIDE
within the Corporate City Limits of New London.
(Hortonville, Readfield, Dale, Royalton, etc., or if your
address starts with a Letter and ends with New London you are
NOT within the city limits of New London).

| Parent
and Child Aquatics |
This
class is offered to give you and your child guided time in
the pool without the frenzy of the open, public and family
swim atmosphere. The instructor will introduce you to
the pool, the safest ways to enter a pool with a child, and
give you an idea of the skills that are taught in the lower
levels of the Learn-to-Swim program. Some of these
skills include floats, glides, arm actions and breath
control. This class is recommended for children ages
6months to 3 years. The child will be moved to
Preschool Aquatics when the instructor feels the child is
ready or his/her age allows you to do so. |

Aquatics |
This
level offers a structured class setting with parent
participation being optional as needed. It is designed
for the lifeguard to be a teacher rather than a facilitator
as in the previous level. We recommend this class for
ages 3 to 5. The skills covered in this level are
primary water skills that aim to improve the child's comfort
in the water including safe entry and exit skills,
submerging in a rhythmic pattern, exploring buoyancy,
combined strokes on back and front, changing body position
in the water, and learning about lifejackets.
|
| Learn
to Swim Level 1 (LTS1) |
The objectives of this level are to learn basic
personal water safety skills and rules. Participants will
learn elementary aquatic skills that are the basis of
advanced skills learned in the Learn to Swim (LTS) upper
levels.
|
| Learn
to Swim Level 2 (LTS2) |
This
class builds upon the basic skills learned in LTS Level 1
and individuals become comfortable performing the skills on
their own, with no assistance. In this level, participants
will see progress in true locomotion skills on the front and
the back.
|
| Learn
to Swim Level 3 (LTS3) |
This
is a stroke development class that builds on the
fundamentals of LTS Level 2. Amongst other skills, two new
methods of kicking are introduced and individuals learn the
rules of headfirst entries.
|
| Learn
to Swim Level 4 (LTS4) |
Stroke
improvement is the main focus of this level. Increased
distances improve endurance of the basic strokes, while
instruction and practice help to develop the more advanced
butterfly, breaststroke, and back crawl strokes.
Participants also learn turns at the wall to become
more efficient swimmers.
|
| Learn
to Swim Level 5 (LTS5) |
A
LTS Level 5 student desires to become more coordinated in
all six strokes through increased practice and longer
distances. Flip turns at the wall are also taught and
practiced to increase efficiency while swimming. |
| Learn
to Swim Level 6 (LTS6) |
All
three sub-programs of Level 6 focus on building power and
smoothness into the students’ strokes. In the future these
students may want to competitively swim with the North East
Aquatics Team or at the high school level. Other students
may be interested in becoming lifeguards and water safety
instructors in the future. The three subsections of LTS
Level 6 are: Personal Water Safety, Fundamentals of Diving,
and Fitness Swimmer. Programs are offered upon instructor
availability.
