Swim Level Assessment Form
If you unsure which level your child needs, use this Assessment Form.
At the end of the Form, you will understand what level your child needs to be registered for.
In addition, a brief description of each level follows the Assessment Form.
- 3-5.5 years old
This is a great class for 3-5.5 years old to get acclimated in the water… AND we also teach them to swim on their front and back. In these 5 classes, 25 minutes each, many kids float for a few feet, some float a few yards, and all gain lots of confidence. Some of these classes are offered as separate genders, some are mixed.
- Level 1
- Level 2
For kids who can float on front and back approximately 1/3 way across the width of the pool. We’ll learn to swim, come up to breathe and swim further, learn 2 different back strokes and refine the front stroke. This level is often combined with Level 3 as the skills are similar.
- Level 3
For kids who can float & swim, front and back, for approximately ¾ across the width of the pool, has already learnt one or two different backstrokes (monkey-airplane-soldier) and is getting ready to pass the deep-water test. We’ll learn how to come up for air, learn rhythmic breathing well, tread water, and attempt to pass the deep-water test. Note: For some, this is a harder level to pass.
- Level 4/5
For deep water swimmers; we’ll refine each stroke and add new strokes and dives, and work on endurance (building up strength and swimming for longer amounts of time.)
