YELLOW represents CAUTION, these swimmers have more confidence in the water, however, they may be overconfident and still need “close and constant” supervision when in or around the water.
PREREQUISITES: These swimmers must be able to independently perform the following skills: back float for 10 seconds, front float with a breath for 10 seconds, streamline kick for 6 feet.
We focus on building strength to increase swimming distances and side breathing.
As students advance, we introduce basic freestyle and backstroke to prepare them for swimming the entire length of the pool, with technical proficiency.
YELLOW is an intermediate to advanced swimming level.
