June 2007 - August 2007 Swimming Lesson Schedule (ages 6 months - 3 years old.) Our Parent/Child Swimming program is an educational program for children ages 3 years and under and their parents. Parents learn the value of games and play for their young child and increase their knowledge as well as their childs's enjoyment of the water and other aspects of life. By following the leader's example, parents discover how to guide a child toward learning through positive reinforcement and appropriate praise. Play makes the learning experience positive, and sharing the experience reinforces trust between the parent and child.
(ages 3 years old - 5 years old.) In our preschool Swimming program, children are grouped by skill or ability level. The program stresses enjoyment, learning activities, development of confidence and safety. Each class emphisizes mental and charecter development as well as physical development. Children learn swimming skills, water adjustment and saftey through games and songs. Our youth Swimming program is child-centered and uses a problem-solving, guided discovery teaching approach. The emphasis is on learning and not on passing or failing. Each developmental level is divided into five components, which include personal safety, stroke development, water sports and games, personal growth, and rescue. In each of the levels the skills and activities promote health and fitness. Classes are organized by peer grouping within each level to utilize the entire pool and to maximize participation per class. Participants gain confidence and see progress as their endurance and strenth increase.
