Beginners have several focus skills, including getting familiar with the water, basic water safety, floating, submerging, kicking, arm movements, breathing and coordination. They will eventually try to accomplish a swimming stroke, like freestyle or elementary backstroke and jumping off board and safely making it to ladder.

Intermediate classes typically focus on improving freestyle, learning new strokes, endurance and refining skills in deeper water. The intermediate skills build on basic skills that we normally sue on our swim team and work on more advanced techniques like efficient breathing and the coordination of arm and leg movements.

Advanced classes are typically used for perfecting our strokes: freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke and butterfly as well as increasing endurance.
