It’s not just for old ladies!! Seriously! If you like being in the water but get bored swimming up
and down the lanes, or just want to vary your routine, consider trying pool exercise classes.
Water exercise can also be safer and more comfortable for pregnant women or for those who
are overweight, recovering from surgery, or suffer from arthritis, back pain or muscle or joint
problems.
All classes are 1-hour long unless otherwise noted. It is recommended to bring a bottle of water
poolside to keep your body hydrated. New participants are welcome any time.
TIPS FOR WATER EXERCISERS
• A doctor’s guidance is advised before you start an exercise program.
• Before your first class, let your instructor know about any special conditions that might affect
your workout.
• Keep yourself hydrated before, during and after your workout by drinking plenty of water.
• Wearing water shoes can improve your footing and protect your feet in shallow water.
• Remember- the more energy you invest in your workout, the more calories you’ll burn!

CHILDREN’S SWIM LESSON LEVEL DESCRIPTIONS
Not sure what swim lesson level to put your child in? Take a look at these level descriptions
and talk to the manager and ask them to make a recommendation.
PARENT & CHILD (6 MONTHS TO 3 YEARS OLD) This class is offered to give you and your
child guided time in the pool without the frenzy of the public swim atmosphere. The instructor
introduces you to the pool, the safest ways to enter a pool with a child, and gives you an idea
of the skills that are taught in the lower levels of the Learn-to-Swim program. Some of these
skills include floats, glides, arm actions and leg action.
PRE-AQUATICS (3 –5 YRS.) This class focuses on water adjustment. It is a good starting
place for 3 – 5 year olds who are new to the water. Students work on becoming comfortable in
the water and learn to float with support. Students learn basic swimming skills (front and back
crawl arms and kicks) and safety skills.
LEVEL 1 (5 YRS. & OLDER) Students learn basic swimming skills (front and back crawl arms
and kicks). Students start to learn breath control and how to combine arm strokes & kicks.
Front and back glides and safety skills are also covered. During this level all skills are accom-
plished with assistance but independent is encouraged and fostered.
LEVEL 2 This class builds upon the basic skills learned in Level 1 and individuals become
comfortable performing skills on their own with no assistance. Deep water is explored with and
without floatation to increase comfort level as well.
LEVEL 3 Students work on rhythmic breathing, adding distance to the front and back crawl and
sidestroke. Progression in the other five strokes is also made. Deep water treading and diving
are introduced along with new safety skills.
LEVEL 4 Stroke finesse is the main focus of this level. Increased distances improve endurance
of the basic strokes, while instruction and practice help to develop the more advanced breast-
stroke and sidestroke. Participants also earn open turns to become more efficient swimmers.
Progress is also made in diving skills.
LEVEL 5/6 These students desire to become more coordinated in all six strokes through
increased practice and longer distances. Flip turns and diving entries are also taught and prac-
ticed to increase efficiency while swimming.
*** Graduates of our swim lesson program often enroll in Junior Lifeguard and Lifeguard
certification classes, swim with competitive teams, or at the high school level.
New London Parks & Recreation Guide PAGE 20Fall PARK & REC GUIDE 2021
THE ROLE OF A SWIMMING INSTRUCTOR
Your child’s lesson instructor is their hands-on access to progressing through each level.
Instructors are responsible for approving skills and completing the checklist. Instructors are
trained by going through pre-lesson training, co-teaching, meetings, taking the American Red
Cross Water Safety Instructor class and/or following a prescribed lesson plan. It is our intention
to keep the same instructor with a class throughout a session. Although we attempt this, your
child may not always have the same instructor. Our instructors are mostly high school and
college students who are involved with many other activities. If an instructor needs a sub and
misses more than one class the instructor must try to get the same sub.
The importance of fun and games: Much of a child’s early learning takes place while playing
games. Images, games, and rhymes make up a child’s natural ability to imagine and pretend
while learning swimming-related skills. The use of images, games, and rhymes can enhance
a young child’s willingness to participate and enjoy aquatic activities. It is important to keep
swimming lessons motivating, challenging and fun.
