Aquatics

The purpose of the American Red Cross Lifeguarding course is to provide entry-level lifeguard participants with the knowledge and skills to prevent, recognize and respond to aquatic emergencies and to provide care for breathing and cardiac emergencies, injuries, and sudden illnesses until emergency medical services arrive.

This is a fun and exhilarating cardiovascular workout done in the 4-5ft area of the pool. Join us for interval circuit training using resistance with hand buoys, noodles and kickboards.

This fun and energetic class utilizes a unique combination of movements to upbeat music. You’ll work all major muscle groups while keeping the heart rate elevated.

Available for ages 14 and up by purchasing a punch card.

Our Infant/Tot Aquatics program for children ages 6 to 48 months will give parent and child an opportunity to participate in individual/group activities that promote adjustments to water skills such as front or back position in the water and demonstrating breath control, including blowing bubbles or voluntarily submerging under water.

Introduction to Water Skills is for those who have progressed from our infant swim and preschool classes or who are just beginning to learn to swim.

This level is for those who have passed or can complete the basic skills in Level 1. Fundamental Aquatic Skills (Level 2) builds on those skills and introduces holding breath under water, jellyfish floats, retrieving submerged objects, treading water and front and back floats and glides.

Stroke Development (Level 3) builds on those skills and introduces sitting-position diving into the pool from the side, rotary breathing, survival float, back float, flutter and dolphin kicks, front crawl, elementary backstroke, scissors kick and additional water safety skills.

Stroke Improvement (Level 4) builds on those skills and introduces swimming under water, feet-first surface dive, survival swimming, front crawl and backstroke open turns, treading water with 2 kicks, front/back crawl, elementary backstroke, breaststroke, sidestroke, and butterfly and additional water safety skills.

Stroke Refinement (Level 5) provides further coordination and refinement of front crawl, backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, and sidestroke and introduces shallow-angle dive from the side, tuck and pike surface dives, front flip turn and additional water safety skills.
