Orange Community Education & Recreation

LEARN TO SWIM We believe every child should learn to swim. While fun and a great form of exercise, learning to swim can also keep your child safe in and around water. Following the standards of the American Red Cross, our Learn to Swim program is designed for children of all ages and abilities. Students are encouraged to move at their own pace in groups with low student to instructor ratios. Instructors will move swimmers to a different level if abilities require. Please check dates and times of classes carefully; we cannot change days/times and do not provide make -ups for missed classes. New spots are sometime opened; if a class is full, please sign up on a waiting list and swimmers will be added to the class as space allows. Pre - registration is required; registration does not take place at the pool. Level 2: Stroke Readiness Ages 4+ Swimmers will increase their ability to do skills on their own, thus preparing them to learn strokes. To advance to the next level, swimmers must perform a sit dive with a kick glide, beginner stroke with 5 breaths, sculling with flutter kick. Swimmers also must be able to swim out and change directions and jump in, recover and swim.

Swimmers will be spaced out in the lap lanes and must be confident swimming alone in deep water as the instructor will be teaching from the deck while swimmers are in the water learning strokes. Children who are not strong enough swimmers will be removed from this class. To advance to the next level, swimmers must jump into deep water with recovery, swim front and back crawl for 15 yards, elementary backstroke, dolphin kick and be able to do a squat dive.
