Swim Lessons
Swimming lessons are provided as a service to the members of our
pools. Teaching people to swim could save their lives someday; it
is a job that should be taken very seriously. Lessons need to be
planned and well publicized in advance so that all interested members
have an opportunity to take advantage of the service you are providing.
Remember, the members are your customers, and it is your job to
provide them with the best service available. You must keep them informed
as to what lessons are available and how
to register. You will also receive a higher pay than your
lifeguarding pay while teaching swim lessons.
Our classes contain no more than six students to ensure that they
all receive the attention they need to become proficient swimmers.
We make swimming a lifetime of enjoyment!
The types of classes that are available are as follows:
- Tadpoles: For preschool age children from
3 to 5 years old who are new to swim lessons. This
class emphasizes water orientation, basic water safety and developing
a comfort level with the water.
- Guppies: For preschool age children 3 to
5 years old who are comfortable in the water, can float with some
assistance, and are ready to learn the basic skills for front
crawl and backstroke.
- Starfish (Primary skills): The object of
this course is to give students success with fundamental skills.
Students learn to float without support and recover to a vertical
position. This level marks the beginning of true locomotion skills.
- Dolphin (Stroke Readiness): Students must
be comfortable in the water. Basic skills for front crawl, backstroke
and diving are taught.
- Whale (Stroke Development): Students must
be able to swim a minimum of 35 feet of both beginner front crawl
and backstroke. The object to this course is to develop confidence
in skills learned thus far. The breaststroke, sidestroke, and
the basics of turning at the wall are introduced.
Training class times and days have not been scheduled for 2008.
