Classes

Prerequisites: Students should have passed our Core Level 1 class or should be able to perform Freestyle, Backstroke, and Dolphin kick with and without a kickboard, perform the strokes for Freestyle and Backstroke, and understand basic motor patterns for Breaststroke and Butterfly.

Students in Core Level 2 will become more precise and well-rounded swimmers. Our instructors will continue to advance swimmers’ understanding of lane etiquette through exposure to circle swimming and more repetitions during each session. Students will review body movement and kicking skills for all four strokes and be taught drill progressions to help cement these skills. Students at this level will be asked to kick and swim with a combination of skill and speed. 

Prerequisites: Students should have passed our Pre-School Level 3 class, or our Intro to Swimming class, or should be able to perform Freestyle and Dolphin kick with a kickboard, perform side-breathing for Freestyle, and perform Backstroke with straight-arm recovery.

Core Level 1 is designed for young swimmers to continue to refine their strokes and advance their skill sets for water safety, body awareness, and stroke mechanics for Backstroke and Freestyle, including bi-lateral breathing. Through advanced swimming instruction, our students will also continue to develop kicking and body mechanics for freestyle, backstroke, butterfly and breaststroke kick as well as underwater streamline push-offs.
