Kids/Teens practice increasing levels of water skills as they progress through levels. Classes involve group exercises as well as one-on-one teaching where needed. Classes focus on foundational skills like breath control and a variety of swim strokes. As levels progress the focus shifts to strength for distance swimming, rolls and dives, underwater skills and survival techniques.
