Description
The last day for Internet Registration was Oct 20, 2024 8:00 PM but registrations are still being accepted in-person. Please contact our office.
Swimmer 2 is a beginner level for swimmers 6 years or older. This level requires swimmers to support themselves in the water with no assistance from an instructor. Swimmers will learn to jump into deeper water unassisted, how to fall sideways into the water wearing a lifejacket and be introduced to flutter kick interval training (4 x 5 m). By the end of the session, swimmers should be able to support themselves at the surface without an aid while doing whip kick and swimming 10m on their front and back with no assistance.
Due to the nature and difficulty of Swim For Life lessons, it is very common for swimmers to do the same level multiple times before moving to the next level. Please take this into consideration if you are registering for multiple classes.
Prerequisites (at least 1 of the following):
Red Cross Swim Kids Level 2 (Complete)
Red Cross Swim Kids Level 3 (Incomplete)
Swim For Life Preschool 5 (Complete OR Incomplete)
Swim For Life Swimmer 1 (Complete)
Swim For Life Swimmer 2 (Incomplete)
Prior to attending this swimming level, the participant should be able to:
- Comfortably submerge their entire body with eyes open and blow bubbles.
- Jump into chest-deep water with no assistance from an instructor or floatation aide.
- Float on their front and back for 5 seconds with no assistance from an instructor or floatation aide.
- Glide while kicking on their front, back and side for 3m - 5m with no assistance from an instructor or floatation aide.
- Roll laterally from front to back and back to front with no assistance from an instructor or floatation aide.
*For safety reasons, Vecova kindly asks that caregivers register participants into the correct swim level based on their swimming skills. If the participant cannot show the instructor the above skills on the first day of classes, they may be removed from the lesson and be requested to register in Swimmer 1 for the next session. *
