|
| Parent
and Child Level 1 (PCA1) |
There
are no skill prerequisites for Parent and Child Aquatics (PCA).
Children must be at least 6 months old to enroll. A parent
is required to accompany each child in the water and
participate in the classes. Level 1 introduces basic skills
to parents and children. Parents are taught to safely work
with their child in the water, including how to
appropriately support and hold their child in the water and
how to prepare and encourage their child to participate
fully and try the skills. Children are introduced to basic
skills that lay a foundation to help them learn to swim.
Several water-safety topics are also introduced which are
directed towards parents.) |
| Parent
and Child Level 2 (PCA2) |
In
this class infants and young children from 18 months to 3
years old become more comfortable performing the skills
learned in PCA Level 1. Participants improve on these skills
and learn advanced skills in Level 2 |
| Preschool Aquatics Level
1-3 |
The
recommended ages for children in Preschool Aquatics (PRE) is
3-5 years old yet participation is not determined by age
alone.
|
| Preschool
Aquatics Level 1 (PRE1) |
For
children 3 years old.
Teaches
children how to enter the water safely. Exit water using
ladder, steps or side independently. Breathing control and
submerging, opening eyes and retrieving submerged objects,
buoyancy on front and back, glides, treading, alternating
arm and leg actions. Most of the skills are with assistance.
|
| Preschool
Aquatics Level 2 (PRE2) |
For
children 4 years old:
The
objectives of this level are to build on the basic aquatic
skills learned in PRE Level 1 and to give children further
success with fundamental aquatic skills performed to a
slightly more advanced degree than at Level 1. Most skills
in this level are performed with assistance; however, this
level marks the beginning of independent aquatic locomotion
skills. Children continue to explore using simultaneous and
alternating arm and leg actions on the front and back to
gain more proficiency for future strokes. Level 2 expands on
the self-help and basic rescue skills introduced in Level 1.
|
| Preschool
Aquatics Level 3 (PRE3) |
For
children 5 years old: The objective in Level 3 is to build
on the skills learned in Level 1 and 2 by providing
additional practice of basic aquatic skills at slightly more
proficient performance levels and greater distances and
times. Skills in this level are performed independently.
Children are taught to improve coordination of combined
simultaneous arm and leg actions and alternating arm and leg
actions. Children will be presented with additional safety
skills and improve comprehension of previous knowledge.
|
| 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.
