Level 3: Front Crawl Form, Side Stroke and Backstroke

Ages 7-12: This class focuses on improving Front Crawl form, adding side breathing to the Front Crawl stroke, as well as introducing the side stroke, backstroke and basic deep end skills like treading water. The average class size is 4 students with each class having one teacher and one teacher’s aid. We find most students repeat this level over and over as it is a class focused skill that can be continuously worked on such as improving form as well as serving as a beginning swim conditioning. Prerequisite: swimmers must be able to perform a rudimentary Front Crawl stroke (with or without side breathing) the width of the pool and back float unassisted
