Levels 4 - 6:
Continue your progress from the summer at Longshore! These lessons follow the American Red Cross Learn to Swim program and will combine Level 4 through 6 to offer a dynamic lesson and participants are sure to see improvement. Participants must be able to do freestyle and backstroke independently for 25 yards each. Breast stroke, side stroke and butterfly will be improved and refined. Participants will work on strength, endurance and technique to advance into the competitive swim course. We will focus on technique and endurance.
Intro to Competitive Swimming:
Are you interested in joining a swim team someday? Or maybe you just love to swim? This course will focus on all four strokes, turns, and starts. This program will also focus on refining participant's competitive strokes and increasing speed, and improving technique while having fun in the water! Students must be proficient in freestyle, backstroke, breast stroke and have knowledge of butterfly. Each lesson will incorporate a technical component of swimming in addition to a fitness element. Each participant must have goggles and swim fins that fit, and hair must be tied back. We will focus on technique and endurance.
