WSREC Learn-to-Swim Program: Parent & Child Through Level 6 These programs offer a structured approach to learning to swim, starting with parent and child classes for the youngest swimmers and progressing to independent swimming by Level 5/6. We will not adjust the minimum age level for a class.

Each child must be accompanied by an adult in the water.  The child should enroll in the course, not the adult. Bubble Belt: Focuses on building comfort and skills for independent swimming. Students must be comfortable in the water with a flotation device and follow directions reasonably well. The instructor reserves the right to require a parent or guardian to accompany a child in the water. This determination may fluctuate based on factors assessed during each class. If in-water assistance is not required, parents/guardians must remain on the pool deck for the duration of the lesson. Lessons cover breath control, endurance, proper body position, basic pool safety, and alternating arm and leg movements. Each child will wear a WSREC-provided bubble belt that allows for natural buoyancy. Level 1: Students must be comfortable entering the water without a parent and without a flotation device.

11:00 AM - 11:40 AM    Swim Lessons (Youth) - Swim Lessons - Level 5/6 T/Th
WSREC Learn-to-Swim Program: Parent & Child Through Level 6 These programs offer a structured approach to learning to swim, starting with parent and child classes for the youngest swimmers and progressing to independent swimming by Level 5/6. We will not adjust the minimum age level for a class. This ensures a safe and appropriate learning environment for all participants based on their skill development and physical capabilities. Parent/Child Lessons: Introduces young children to the water in a positive and playful environment using songs, games, and parent-child interaction. Each child must be accompanied by an adult in the water.  The child should enroll in the course, not the adult. Bubble Belt: Focuses on building comfort and skills for independent swimming. Students must be comfortable in the water with a flotation device and follow directions reasonably well. The instructor reserves the right to require a parent or guardian to accompany a child in the water. This determination may fluctuate based on factors assessed during each class. If in-water assistance is not required, parents/guardians must remain on the pool deck for the duration of the lesson. Lessons cover breath control, endurance, proper body position, basic pool safety, and alternating arm and leg movements. Each child will wear a WSREC-provided bubble belt that allows for natural buoyancy. Level 1: Students must be comfortable entering the water without a parent and without a flotation device. Focuses on building confidence and basic swimming skills using flotation aids (pool noodles, etc.). Covers proper body position, breath control, alternating arm and leg movements, underwater exploration, and pool safety. Level 2: Students must be able to tread water for at least 5 seconds, put their face in the water, and float comfortably on their stomach and back. Uses flotation aids initially, with the goal of independent swimming across the pool. Introduces components of breaststroke, backstroke, and front crawl, preparing for Level 3. Level 3: Students must be able to swim the pool width without stopping, float on their back unassisted, follow complex instructions, and tread water for about a minute. Focuses on stroke fundamentals for front crawl, backstroke, breaststroke, and sidestroke. Introduces diving basics and continues pool safety and survival skills. Level 4: Students must be able to demonstrate all strokes (doesn't have to be perfect) and be comfortable diving and swimming in the deep end. Focuses on stroke refinement, making swimmers more proficient and confident. Introduces butterfly stroke, starts, turns, and continues diving and water safety training. Level 5/6: Students must be able to swim the pool length with each stroke without stopping. Focuses on endurance, stroke refinement (including butterfly), flip turns, and diving.
