Summer 2023 Play Frisco Magazine

Shannon Coates Director of Play Frisco

Note from the Director

I remember playing Sharks and Minnows in the pool as a kid and have many fond memories. Playing in the water as a kid eventually led me to pursue a career in parks and recreation!

As the days get longer and the temperatures begin to rise, people in Frisco will naturally be drawn to activities in and around the water. Any body of water, whether it’s a bathtub or a large lake, can pose a safety risk to people who cannot swim. In the U.S., drowning is a leading cause of death for children under age 14 according to the American Academy of Pediatrics.

We know parents want their kids to have fun in the water and stay safe. That’s why we make it easy for families to play safely by offering both group and private swim lessons for kids of all ages, including as young as six months old. In addition to learning a lifesaving skill, swimming is a low impact, lifelong sport that builds endurance and helps with balance and posture.

We invite you to have fun and #PlaySafely with us this summer. We can’t wait to see all the swimmingly-good times you’ll have!

We help you find well-being through play.

LEARN TO SWIM CLASSES

Learn to Swim - Parent & Child

The purpose of the Parent and Child Aquatic program is to help young children become comfortable in and around the water so they are ready to learn to swim. While the class is designed to raise the comfort level of the child, it is also intended to educate the parent or caregiver in basic water skills so they are better equipped to aid in their child's aquatic education and ensure that their child stays safe in all water activities. Children two to three years will be introduced to equipment used in preschool lessons and will work with instructors on taking individual direction to help transition from parent and child to preschool swim classes.

Learn to Swim - Preschool

Proper swim wear is required. The earlier a child becomes comfortable in water, familiar with safety precautions, and introduced to the basics of beginner swimming, the better prepared they will be around pools, lakes, and other aquatic environments. The Preschool class will teach the fundamentals of water safety, buoyancy, breath control, swimming on front and back, changing direction and water entry and exit. This class will be divided into three separate skill groups (beginner, intermediate and advanced).

Learn to Swim - Level 1

Level 1 (6 & 12 yrs.) The objectives of Level 1 are for students to be comfortable with swimming on their front and back for 10 to 15 seconds. Students will learn to glide on their front and back for 3 to 5 of their own body lengths, front and back streamline with kicks up to 5 body lengths, rolling over from front-to-back and back-to-front, and independently get 4 breaths while traveling. Safe swimming practices will be taught at every lesson.

Learn to Swim - Level 2

The objective of Level 2 is for students to propel themselves unsupported on their front and back using coordinated arm and leg action (front crawl and back crawl). They will also learn to front and back float and recover to a vertical position without support. Treading water and rotary/side breathing are also introduced.

Learn to Swim - Level 3

To enroll in this level, students must be able to demonstrate the skills listed in Level 2 without assistance. The objective of Level 3 is to continue improvement on front crawl with rotary/side breathing, back crawl, and treading water. Students will also be introduced to and are expected to master: elementary backstroke, dolphin kick, and breaststroke kick.

Learn to Swim - Level 4

To enroll in this level, students must be able to demonstrate the skills listed in Level 3. The objective of this level is to continue improvement on the front crawl, back crawl, elementary backstroke, and treading water. In addition,

Level 4 (continued)

students will be introduced to and are expected to master the timing/coordination for the breaststroke and butterfly. Students will also learn compact jumps and demonstrate swimming 25 yards.

Learn to Swim - Level 5

To enroll in this level, students must be able to show competency in breathing and execution of all four major strokes (front crawl, back crawl, breaststroke, and butterfly) as well as the elementary backstroke. The objective of this level is to continue improvement on the front crawl, back crawl, elementary backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly. Students will be swimming distances up to and exceeding 50 yards to refine each stroke over a water depth of 8 feet. This level will introduce flip turns, open turns, sidestroke, and expand on personal water safety tips.

Learn to Swim - Level 6

To enroll in this level, students must be able to show an effective and proficient stroke as well as the appropriate turns in the following: freestyle 75 yards, backstroke 50 yards, breaststroke 50 yards and butterfly 25 yards. Students should also be prepared to show mastery of the elementary backstroke, side stroke, and surface dives. The objective of Level 6 is to refine the four major strokes. Students will combine strokes and turns in order to swim with more ease, efficiency, and build endurance over longer distances.

Learn to Swim - Level 7 “Skill Clinic”

Registration held through Mike Taylor at 972-292-6629. Level 7 “Skill Clinic” A two-month long clinic that focuses on skills related to the preparation of joining a swim team. Students must have passed Level 6 or attended a summer swim team. Focus will be on effective and efficient 100 yards Freestyle, Backstroke, 75 yards Breaststroke, and 50 yards Butterfly to register. Skills learned will include: Open & Flip Turns, Individual Medley Transitions, Stroke breakouts and pullouts, Starts, Time Clock use & sets, and more!

Learn to Swim - Teen

This class is for those teens that did not have the opportunity to take swim lessons when they were younger. In a class setting of your peers, you will learn basic competitive strokes and safety/resting strokes that will build your confidence and abilities in, on and around the water.

Learn to Swim - Adult

Each student’s experience in the water may range from no formal training, a desire to increase stroke proficiency, or a need to gain knowledge in aquatics for training purposes. This class will teach the fundamentals of water safety, buoyancy, breath control, front crawl with rotary/side breathing, and more. Participants should come to class with goals in mind on what they want to achieve during the session.
