Our Program
BEGINNER (LEVELS 1-3)
We utilize a 10 level progression which ensures continuous improvement for all skill levels. We emphasize excellent swimming technique that will build both comfort and efficiency in the water. Students are directed toward specific goals in each level and are immediately rewarded for their accomplishments and hard work. We provide a small instructor to student ratio that enables more attention in the water.
Level 1: Swimmers begin with gradual water adaptation working toward the advancement goal of 10 relaxed bobs with air exchange.
​
Level 2: Swimmers work toward guided independence in the water, mastering back and front floats and glides from a ready position. Flutter kicking is introduced.
​
Level 3: Swimmers incorporate kicking into front and back glides, working independently from the wall. Along with kicking, body balance and streamlining are emphasized.
INTERMEDIATE (LEVELS 4-7)
Level 4: Swimmers transition from beginning to intermediate swimmers. Body posture, arm stroke, and rhythmic breathing are emphasized forming the foundation of the freestyle stroke, called side-glide-kick.
​
Level 5: Swimmers are guided from the foundation of side-glide-kick, through extended freestyle swimming and the mechanics of backstroke. Swimmers are transitioned to deep water.
​
Levels 6/7: Swimmers build freestyle and backstroke endurance. Swimmers develop treading skills and mechanics of breaststroke and butterfly.
ADVANCED (LEVELS 8-10)
Swimmers transition the intermediate swimmer into advanced swimming techniques for freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly, while building endurance. When students complete level 10, we recommend signing up for club swimming!
Pool Safety Rules & Guidelines
Safety is our top priority at CASC - Swimming Lessons. We have established clear and comprehensive pool safety rules to ensure a secure and enjoyable environment for all. Our experienced instructors and supervisors are dedicated to enforcing these rules and providing guidance to promote a safe swimming experience for everyone. We have trained lifeguards on deck during each session, and many of our instructors are also certified lifeguards. It is important for families and spectators to also follow safe guidelines while watching lessons. We ask that children are always supervised whether they are in the viewing area, in the locker rooms, or in the hallways. DO NOT LEAVE your children unattended. We also do not have instructors available to supervise the locker rooms or restrooms, so please accompany your children during these times. We take pride in maintaining a safe and secure swimming environment, and overall our pool safety guidelines include rules for behavior, equipment usage, and emergency procedures. By adhering to these guidelines, we create a positive and secure space for swimmers of all ages.
