Sharks Class

Our Sharks class consists of advanced students, ages 4 & Up. Sharks will build on endurance, begin the introduction to competitive rules and regulations, and work on advanced technique refinement for every stroke. Students must be able to demonstrate adequate endurance, flip turns with freestyle and backstroke, an improved pace with every stroke, and correct technique for every stroke. Understanding this, safety is still taught as instructors challenge students to hold their breath longer, swim further, kick harder, and have fun! In addition to our standard water safety and survival practice, students are introduced to the competitive side of swimming with pre team workouts. Student’s will be swimming full length laps to increase mental/physical strength and endurance. At this age, terminology is expected to be learned and used. Students will learn how to set and obtain short and long term goals, patience, perseverance, confidence, and listening skills. Our goal is a safe, fun, nurturing environment where little ones can develop sound, positive feelings about themselves and learning.

We use an incremental progression-based curriculum. This allows our students to be comfortably and safely eased into advanced swimming strokes, techniques, and terminology through skills. Skills are activities designed to help students gradually become more comfortable in the water while learning how to swim at a higher level.
