Saturday Morning Swim Lessons
THERE ARE NO CURRENT SWIM LESSONS BEING HOSTED AT THE POOL
Future classes will be posted to this website or to our Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/HudsonHSPool/
Parents or guardians are not allowed in the water during Saturday Morning Swim Lessons.
Bleachers are present on site which parents can stay in and watch as lessons take place.
We ask that parents do not hang out on the side of the pool near the lessons and allow the child to learn from our instructors.
From past experience, children who have parents stand near the side of the pool generally pay more attention to the parent than the instructions being given.
Swim Lessons are based off the American Red Cross Learn - to - Swim Model
While lessons are not sponsored by the red cross, the fundamentals still remain the same during the lessons
Age Group:
While there is no age requirement on this type of lessons, ages generally run from 4 years old to 12 years old
Some children may be able to come to lessons early than this and some may need the lessons later as well
Each individual child develops at a different rate which prevents us from setting an actual age on the class
Classes are broken up by swimming skill sets in order to keep similar abilities together to ensure a safe environment
Lesson Breakdown:
Level 1: Introduction to Water Skills: Students will learn how to feel comfortable in the water and safely enjoy it.
Level 2: Fundamentals of Aquatic Skills: Children will learn basic swimming skills.
Level 3: Stroke Development: Additional guided practice will help students improve their skills.
Level 4: Stroke Improvement: Kids will gain confidence during swim lessons, improve their stroke and gain additional aquatic skills.
Level 5: Stroke Refinement: Guidance allows kids to refine their strokes and become more efficient swimmers.
Level 6: Swimming and Skill Proficiency: Students will learn to swim with ease and efficiency, and gain the ability to swim smoothly over greater distances. Swimmers will also have the option to participate in more advanced courses.
