Camp Harlow's Instructors are American Red Cross Certified Lifeguards/Professional Rescuers. We teach our classes based upon American Red Cross and Learn to Swim skills in developmental sequence.
All lessons are designed to teach safety first when children are in, on, or around the water!
Swim Levels:
- Starfish - Ages 3-6 years Entry level class for children with little or no water skills. Children will focus on general comfort ability in the water, submerging their head and blowing bubbles, floating on their back, and kicking.
- Advanced Starfish – Ages 3-6 years For children who have started to swim with or without support. Children will focus on bobs, floating, kicking on their front and back in streamline position, and swimming with their face in the water.
- Flippers – Level 2 Children must be proficient in all the skills learned in the previous levels. Children will focus on kicking with a kickboard for extended lengths, kicking on their back in streamline position, and start swimming the front crawl.
- Stingrays – Level 3 Children must be proficient in all the skills learned in the previous levels. The main objective of this level is to introduce complete strokes. Children will focus on swimming front crawl with alternate breathing, back crawl, and the elementary backstroke.
- Sharks – Level 4 Children must be proficient in all the skills learned in the previous levels. Children will focus on learning the breast stroke, as well as the streamline kick on their back using flutter, breast, and dolphin kicks. They will also work on swimming already learned strokes (front crawl & back crawl) more efficiently and for greater distances.
- Dolphins – Level 5 Children must be proficient in all the skills learned in the previous levels. The final level of our swim program will focus on learning the butterfly and diving, as well as continued perfection on the front crawl, back crawl, and breast stroke.
- Private Lessons: Available upon request. Look for more details on contact information.
