Which level should I sign my child up for?

Ages 6 months-3 years : Check out our partner: Central Ohio Infant Survival Resource for information on infant classes. 

Coming Soon: Spirit Swimming will offer Infant & Parent swim lessons for infants as young as 6 months old with adult participation. Our instructors use gentle techniques to help lead you and your little one in the water and help teach basic water skills.

Ages 3-6 : Skills that will be taught are blowing bubbles, bobbing up and down in the water, kick using straight legs and pointy toes, floating with and without assistance, front crawl with assistance, back crawl with assistance, retrieving objects, and jumping in from the side of the pool. The skill progression is different for each individual and may take more time for some kids, just remember to be positive and have the focus be on individual improvement. 

Ages 4-8 : Skills that will be taught are learning to swim 5-15 yards of the pool with no assistance, basic technique of freestyle and backstroke, introduction to diving and streamlines, introduce underwater swimming, and more safety skills.  

Ages 6-12 : Kids should be able to swim 25 yards with no assistance and know the basics of freestyle & backstroke. We will review technique to gear them up for swim team, and introduce breaststroke, butterfly, racing starts, and safety.
