Intermediate Swim Lessons (Group)
Intermediate Swim Lessons are designed to continue and refine the beginner abilities. Now that children are safe and comfortable, swim technique starts to be a priority. New skills will be introduced such as diving, rhythmic/bilateral breathing, Backstroke and Elementary Backstroke. We also introduce treading water and endurance (laps). Emphasis is placed on being proficient at the front crawl (Freestyle), as this is the most common stroke. Typically ages 6 and up (we do offer a few classes for 4-5yr olds who meet the prerequisites).
