This 5-week session is designed for first time swimmers and those who want to build confidence and get instruction on the basics of freestyle (crawl stroke) swimming. Proficiency is gained through the use of drills and skill enhancement. Participants must be comfortable in the shallow water (4 ft.). Classes are held in the shallow end of the Rec Pool.
Intermediate Swimming
This is the next level after beginning swimming, another 5-week session for those who want to develop stroke technique and build endurance while working toward a more advanced level. Instruction will be based upon the participants' skill levels and goals. Participants should be able to swim two out of four competitive strokes (free, back, breast, or fly).
Masters Swim
This is an advanced swim class geared toward improving one's current skills and for those who want to prepare for swim competitions and triathlons. To enroll, participants must be able to swim three out of the four competitive strokes. (Free, Back, Breast, Fly)
