LEVEL IV- STROKE IMPROVEMENT: Students entering this course must have a Level III certificate or must be able to demonstrate all the completion requirements in Level III. The objective of Level IV is to develop confidence in the strokes learned thus far and to improve aquatic skills. Students are taught to improve their skills and increase their endurance by swimming familiar strokes (front crawl & backstroke) for greater distances. Students add the arms to the scissors kick for the sidestroke and also start to learn the back crawl, breaststroke, butterfly, and the basics of turning at a wall.
Cost: $33/City; $43/Non-city
LEVEL V- STROKE REFINEMENT: Students entering this course must have a Level IV certificate or must be able to demonstrate all the completion requirements in Level IV. The objective of Level V is coordination and refinement of strokes. Participants refine their performance of all strokes (front crawl, back crawl, butterfly, breaststroke, elementary backstroke and sidestroke) and increase their distances. Flip turns on the front and back are also introduced.
Cost:$33/City; $43/Non-city
LEVEL VI - SWIMMING AND SKILL PROFICIENCY: Students entering this course must have a Level V certificate or must be able to demonstrate all the completion requirements in Level V. The objective of Level VI is to refine strokes so students swim with more ease, efficiency, power, and smoothness over greater distances. Other aquatic activities will also be introduced and offers three options--Personal Water Safety, Fundamentals of Diving, and Fitness Swimmer. These options focus on preparing students for more advanced courses, such as the WSI course, or other aquatics activities, such as competitive swimming or diving.
