“Learn to Swim” Lessons

Parent & Child Swim 2+yrs

Parents and child learn together to increase their child’s comfort level in the water and build a foundation of basic skills, such as getting their face wet in the pool, blowing bubbles, front and back floats and glides. This level is funfilled to help introduce water safety concepts and encourage a healthy recreational habit. One adult per child is required.

Level 1: Little Beginners

Level 1 introduces first-time swimmers to the aquatic environment and helps them gain basic aquatic skills that are the foundation for later levels. Front and back floats, blowing bubbles and leg and arm actions are introduced.

Level 2: Introduction of Water Skills

Level 2 teaches basic personal water safety skills to help children feel comfortable in the water while improving elementary aquatic skills such as bobbing in the water, front and back glides and combined arm and leg action with assistance.

Level 3: Fundamental Aquatic Skills

Level 3 leads participants to success through fundamental skills such as floating and recovering to a vertical position. Participants will continue to increase their independence with treading and swimming on their front and back.

The WAWM RCS Department reserves the right to move your child out of a level for their own safety. There is no guarantee that your child can get into the correct level if moved.

Level 4: Stroke Development

Level 4 will teach swimmers to do front crawl, rotary breathing and elementary backstroke the width of the pool. They will be introduced to deep water entries and simple dives, while continuing to improve their deep water treading skills.

Level 7 helps swimmers refine their strokes and skills so participants swim with ease, efficiency and power over greater distances. Participants will begin to incorporate flip turns into their front crawl.

Level 8: Intro to Competitive Swimming

Level 8 will introduce swimmers to what to expect in competitive swimming. Swimmers will learn to do starts from blocks, use equipment such as paddles and pull buoys and understand the terminology and format of competitive swimming. This is a higher level program that will build endurance.

Consider Volunteer Coaching

For all youth sports leagues, the WAWM RCS Department will hire a League Director. The League Director is an experienced and knowledgeable staff member responsible for delivering age appropriate instruction, preparing all practice plans and will ensure a consistent, quality experience for all players.

Interested in being a volunteer coach? Volunteers follow the direction of the League Director and run the pre-planned drills with their team. On game days, volunteers are responsible for player substitutions, assigning players to positions and providing a positive and fun learning environment. Volunteer coaches must model and exhibit our core values of inclusion, balance, skill development and lifelong enjoyment.

If you are interested in volunteer coaching, please indicate that at the time of enrollment. All volunteer coaches are subject to a confidential background check.

For more information contact Youth Sports Manager, Bobby Foreman at 414-604-4968.
