SWIMMING LESSONS

We offer swimming lessons based on the Lifesaving Society of QC system.

There are 6 levels of lessons:

Swimmer 1: These beginner swimmers will become comfortable jumping into the water with and without a personal flotation device (PFD). They’ll learn to open their eyes, exhale and hold their breath underwater. They’ll practice floating, gliding and kicking to move through the water on their stomachs and backs (8 lessons of 30 min per class).

Swimmer 2: These beginners with more advanced skills will jump into deeper water and learn not to be afraid of falling into the water on their side while wearing a PFD. They’ll be able to swim on the spot without buoyant aids, learn the simultaneous rotational kick, as well as swim 10 m on their stomachs and backs. They will also have an introduction to interval training for alternating kicks (4 x 5 m). (8 lessons of 30 min per lesson)

Swimmer 3: These young swimmers will be doing dives, front rolls in the water and backstrokes. They will practice crawl and backstroke for 15 m, as well as 10 m with simultaneous rotational kick. Interval training for the alternating kick will be increased to 4 x 15 m. (8 lessons of 45 min per lesson).

Swimmer 4: These intermediate swimmers will swim 5 m underwater and do lengths in front crawl, back crawl, simultaneous rotational kick and breaststroke arms, including breaststroke breathing. Their latest feat includes demonstrating the Canadian Swim to Survive Standard. To top it all off, they’ll perform 25 m crawl sprints and 4 x 25 m crawl and backstroke interval training. (8 lessons of 45 min per lesson)

Swimmer 5: These swimmers will master flush dives, bunched (ball) jumps, the alternating spin kick and backward somersaults in the water. They will improve their 50 m crawl and backstroke and 25 m breaststroke. They will then increase the pace with 25 m sprints and two interval training exercises: 4 x 50 m crawl or backstroke, and 4 x 15 m breaststroke (8 lessons of 45 min per lesson).

Swimmer 6: These advanced swimmers will rise to the challenge of sophisticated aquatic skills, such as stop jumps, compact jumps, as well as lifesaving kicks, like the alternating spin kick and the scissor kick. They’ll develop strength and power with head-up breaststroke sprints over 25 m. They’ll easily swim lengths in the front crawl, back crawl and breaststroke. They will be able to carry out training exercises over 300 m. (8 lessons of 45 min per lesson).
