LEVELS
Swim School Houston: Our program has seven levels, each designed to make a safe and proficient swimmer. The skills listed are basic guidelines, but they may vary from session to session depending on the individuals attending each class.
Level I
Swim Lessons Houston - Level one: An introductory level class. The students will learn to blow bubbles, put their faces under water, jump in assisted, and learn buoyancy. They will float on their backs and tummies assisted. These swimmers are still learning to be comfortable in water and still need to have full time assistance.
Level II
Swim Lessons Houston - Level two: At this level the swimmer is learning skills that are unassisted. They will be jumping in unassisted, floating on back and front unassisted. They will learn to maneuver from one side of the pool to the other with objects that aide in their buoyancy. They will begin to learn to hold their breathe as well as the elementary backstroke. These swimmers are still in need of help when swimming in the water.
Level III
Swim Lessons Houston - Level three: Swimmers will improve by leaps and bounds. These swimmers will increase their yardage and start to concentrate on technique. These swimmers will be learning the backstroke, elementary backstroke, freestyle with proper breathing technique and working on kicking techniques with focus on breathing correctly. These swimmers will also learn to sit dive. These swimmers are proficient swimmers but still need to have an adult within arms reach.
Level IV
Swim Lessons Houston - Level four: Swimmers are fine tuning all the above strokes, swimming up to 15 yards. They are also learning to dive standing up and are introduced to breaststroke kick. These swimmers are also treading water for 30 second intervals. They are diving off the side and are learning to do flip turns for fun. These swimmers have reached a level that they can play in the water safely alone with proper adult supervision.
