🌟 Class Offerings & Descriptions

Level 1 - Water Comfort & Foundations

45min weekly

Designed for absolute beginners, Level 1 focuses on building confidence and comfort in the water. Swimmers learn basic water safety skills, supported floating on front and back, breath control, and gentle movement through the water. The goal of this level is to help swimmers feel safe, relaxed, and ready to progress independently.

Best for: First-time swimmers or those still building water confidence.

Level 2 — Skill Foundations

45min weekly

Level 2 builds on water comfort by introducing backstroke fundamentals. Swimmers work on body position, kicking technique, arm motion, and coordinated movement while swimming on their back. This level helps swimmers develop control, endurance, and independence while maintaining strong safety skills.

Best for: Swimmers who are comfortable in the water and ready for structured stroke work.

Level 3 — Technique Development

45min weekly

Level 3 focuses on developing freestyle (front crawl) technique. Swimmers work on breathing, body alignment, kicking efficiency, arm mechanics, and rhythmic coordination. Emphasis is placed on swimming longer distances with improved form and confidence.

Best for: Swimmers who can move independently and are ready to refine freestyle skills.

Levels 4–5 — Advanced Skills

45min weekly

This combined advanced level focuses on refining and strengthening previously learned strokes (freestyle and backstroke) while introducing and developing breaststroke. Swimmers work on efficiency, endurance, technique correction, and controlled pacing. Instruction is adapted within the group to challenge swimmers at their individual level.

Best for: Confident swimmers ready for advanced technique, multiple strokes, and increased stamina.
