Adaptive Learn to Swim
Age Group
At least 4 years old at time of registration.
Emphasis
Lessons are conducted in the small pool to foster rapid learning and skill development. This engaging 30-minute class emphasizes the fundamentals of freestyle and backstroke, focusing on stroke development and establishing comfort and safety in the water. Our main goal is to prepare to eventually transition to the larger pool. Each session, spanning 10 weeks, is designed to build a strong foundation in a fun and secure environment.
Competitive Requirement
For our Active Start Adaptive group, we have no competition requirements or expectations. While we focus on skill development, we also offer fun races during the season. Participation in these races is completely optional, and we encourage our Adaptive swimmers to enjoy these events without the pressure of competition.
Progression
For progression from Active Start to the Pre-Comp level, we prioritize several key skills and behaviors. Swimmers should demonstrate the ability to comfortably breathe to the side during freestyle and maintain proper head position while performing backstroke. It is essential for them to listen attentively to the instructor and effectively follow directions. Safety remains a top priority, and while they are always under direct supervision, their ability to adhere to safety protocols and participate cooperatively in a class setting is crucial. This ensures they are prepared and content to eventually handle the larger pool environment as they advance.
