Programs

Prerequisite: Child must have passed Learn-to-Swim Level 2

The objectives of Learn-to-Swim Level 3 are to expand proficiency of previously learned skills by providing additional guided practice.

Participants learn and practice survival floating and learn to swim front crawl and elementary backstroke at rudimentary proficiency levels.

You introduce the scissors and dolphin kicks and extend the time duration for treading water.

Participants also learn rules for headfirst entries and begin to learn to enter the water headfirst from a seated position at
poolside (if the water is 9 feet deep or deeper).

As in all levels, new and previously addressed water safety topics are included.

Participants who successfully complete Level 3 have achieved basic water competency in a pool environment.

The American Red Cross Water Competency Test is one of the skills required to successfully complete Level 3. Children that can successfully complete the American Red Cross Water Competency Test are counted as "Swimmers" at our facility.
