Parent & Child

The purpose of this course is to familiarize children with the water and teach swimming readiness skills.

Preschool

The purpose of this course is to facilitate developmentally appropriate learning of fundamental water safety and aquatic skills.

Level I

The purpose of this course is to orient children to the aquatic environment and gain some basic skills in the following categories: developing a positive attitude towards the water, water safety, and effective swimming habits.

Level II

The purpose of this course is to help participants develop simultaneous and alternating arm and leg actions on the front and back, laying the foundation for future stroke techniques.

Level III

The purpose of this course is to help participants perform skills at a slightly more advanced level and begin gaining rudimentary propulsive skills on both the front and back.

Level IV

The purpose of this course is to build endurance and improve aquatic skills by swimming the strokes learned at previous levels.

Level V

The purpose of this course is to help individuals increase the distance they can swim, refine their performance of all six strokes, and learn to perform flip turns on the front and back.

Level VI

The purpose of this course is to help individuals refine their strokes so that they can swim with greater efficiency and effectiveness over long dis tances.

Adult

The purpose of this course is to provide instruction to those who are still learning the basics as well as provide further instruction to those who are looking to improve skills & specific swimming strokes such as the front crawl, breast stroke & back stroke.

The CSBCC provides small-group swim lessons that allow participants to build confidence and attain skills in a fun, safe environment. By maintaining low instructorto-student ratios, swimmers are able to receive more individualized instruction and support. For the most up-to-date list of our swim class offerings, please visit our website at claremontparks.com and click on the online program registration link on the left side of the page to browse program offerings.

The Tiger Sharks SWIM TEAM Starts Mid-November

The goal of this program is to improve swimmers’ competence and confidence in a competitive, team-oriented and fun environment. The swim team fosters individual excellence and team spirit and makes a positive and solid impact on the community. Our focus is instructional; however, this is NOT to be confused with the “Learn to Swim” program. Swimmers are expected to regularly attend scheduled practice sessions and team competitions. Parents’ volunteering and support are needed to develop a level of success that will help this program strive to excellence. Parent volunteers are required to help at home and away meets.

Ages 10 and under: Swimmers must be able to jump feet first into the deep end and swim 25 yards without stopping.

Ages 11-19: Swimmers must be able to swim 25 yards without stopping using freestyle and backstroke.

The Tiger Sharks swim team travels to other venues to compete throughout the winter. Travel is required, and prior swim team experience is a plus.

There are potential job opportunities upon course completion. If interested in being a lifeguard for the Community Center please email or call: icondon@claremontnh.com or 603-542-7019

Successful completion results in a 2-year certification in Lifeguarding, First Aid, professional-level CPR, and AED. Please note that participants will be required to complete 7.5 hours of elements of the course on their own time outside of the class setting. These hours will need to be completed before the first class. Access to a computer and internet is necessary for those sections.
