skills.

has good breath control while their face is in the
water. In this class the main thing students
learn is how to swim halfway across the width of the pool without
assistance or floatation.
Green (with
fins)
A swimmer in a
Green class can hold their breath, submerge face down, and swim a
short distance (approx. 10 feet) comfortably. In
this class, students are working on extending thier swimming
distance to approx. 20 feet and breathing on their

out.

kicking on their backs, float on their backs for 10 seconds without

can float on their backs for 10 seconds unassisted, swim with
sculling hands on their backs for the length of the pool, swim one

play in the water- above and below the surface.
Swimmers are able to move around the pool independently with little
to no contact from the instructor. Students in

minute.
