Students will focus on practicing the skill sets learned in level one and build the confidence to complete the skills without support from the instructor and/or floatation devices.

Skill list:

Water Entries:

• Using ramp or steps (if a pool has them)
• Using the side/slide in entry
• Using a ladder
• Jumping into water 4 ft or deeper and submerging head (without assistance)

Water Exits:

Students will continue building confidence by learning the basic swimming kicks and arm strokes (whip and flutter kicks, and the front and back crawl) with support from floatation devices and the instructor. In level one, students progress to attempting skills introduced in pre-level in water 3-5 ft in depth.

Water Entries:

• Using ramp or steps (if a pool has them)
• Using the side/slide in entry
• Using a ladder
• Jumping into water 4 ft or deeper and submerging head (with assistance)

Water Exits:

This is a class for preschool children (ages 4-5) who are independent enough to participate in a swimming class without a parent but are not advanced enough for the large pool. Participants will learn how to be safe around water and begin working on floating, arm and leg movements, and confidence in the water where they can touch.
