Swim Lesson Descriptions
AGES 3-12
Beginner 1
Beginner 1 is for swimmers brand new to the water and may need extra support getting comfortable entering the pool. Swimmers will work on getting in shallow water on their own and starting basic skills such as bobbing, touching the bottom, floating with support on front and back, and basic supported flutter kicks.
Beginner 2
Beginner 2 is for swimmers who are comfortable getting in the water on their own and may have minimal previous experience in group lessons. Swimmers will be expected to independently submerge themselves and will master beginner skills (floating on front and back independently and kicking independently with a kick board) and will begin learning to tread.
Intermediate
Intermediate Swimmers should have previous experience with basic skills. They should be able to jump in the water and fully submerge themselves, float on front and back, and enter the beginning stages of front and back crawl. Swimmers will get comfortable going in deeper water and will learn how to “eggbeater” tread for up to 2 minutes.
Advanced
Advanced Swimmers should already have basic front crawl/back crawl skills and be comfortable jumping into deep water. Swimmers will learn swim-team based skills such as gliding in streamline, breathing to the side, breaststroke and butterfly kicks, as well as basic dives into deep water. Swimmers will master treading and should be able to swim freestyle or backstroke for short distances.

Private Lessons will be available to swimmers on a first come, first serve basis, and will depend on the number of available instructors. There will be more private lesson availability in August if needed. Please email agraham@hatfield.org with any questions.
Swimmers that may need additional help in specific areas can take this opportunity to receive individualized attention to improve and master skills that group lessons have already taught. Private lessons are meant for swimmers that are seeking extra instruction time for SPECIFIC SKILLS such as treading, stroke work (freestyle and backstroke), basic head-first diving, etc. Please contact agraham@hatfield.org for more information.
