Learn to Swim Level 6

What happens in Learn-to-Swim Level 6? As in all the other levels, in Learn-to-Swim Level 6, our instructors follow a plan to refine swimming and water safety skills that were taught throughout the levels. The expectations are quite high in regards to distance and quality. Additionally, in Level 6 - Personal Water Safety, you learn more complex safety skills that may help you survive in an emergency. Some of the skills include - -Swimming 500 yards continuously using any 3 strokes of choice, swimming… Show more at least 50 yards of each stroke. -Jumping into deep water and performing a survival float for 5 minutes. -Performing a surface dive, retrieving an object from the bottom of the pool at a depth of 7-10 feet, returning to the surface and returning to the starting point. It is common for children to participate in several sessions of Level 6 before they successfully demonstrate each skill. That is okay! It is not important how quickly they move through a level, but that they acquire each skill. Once participant complete Learn-to-Swim Level 6 they may want to continue with Level 6 to further refine their strokes or are eligible to participate in our Competitive Swimming class. Participants that are 11-14 years of age are also eligible to participate in our Aquatic Volunteer Academy, which is the first step to becoming a volunteer junior lifeguard and swim lesson instructor aide.
