The Department of Health and Exercise Science will be conducting swimming lessons for children who would like to learn to swim or further develop and refine swimming skills. Programs are available to meet the needs of nonswimmers, as well as swimmers, as described under the class descriptions. Lessons will be under the direction of experienced instructors. The LEARN TO SWIM PROGRAM continues to be a very popular and successful activity for children in the Glassboro, Pitman, and Washington Township area. Class sizes will be limited. You are encouraged to register early to ensure a space.
Beginner: This class is for "nonswimmers" or children beginning to show aquatic skills. Skills taught include: breath holding, prone and back floating, prone and back glide with kick, introduction to stroke fundamentals, and changing position in water.
Novice: The child is able to perform all beginner level skills. Skills taught include: coordinating crawl stroke with rhythmic breathing, introduction to backstroke, and swimming underwater.
Intermediate: The child is able to "bob" in deep water, swim underwater 3-4 body lengths and perform the front dive. Skills taught include: review of front crawl and back crawl, introduction to new strokes (sidestroke and/or breastroke), tread water, and diving.
Advanced: The child will refine swimming skills, learn additional strokes, work on endurance swimming, and continue with diving skills.
Child/Parent Swim: The child is accompanied by an adult in the pool. This class is designed for younger children (3 to 5 years old), to learn water acclimation skills. Best buy, two for the price of one.
