Swimmer 3 (6+ year olds)
Vecova Recreation Centre • 3304 33RD STREET NW Calgary, AB, Canada T2L 2A6 Organized by VECOVAAbout this event
Description
Swimmer 3 is an intermediate level for swimmers 6 years or older. This level requires swimmers to support themselves in water without the help from an instructor. Swimmers will make a splash with their kneeling dives and forward roll entries and be challenged as more difficult skills are introduced; such as handstands in shallow water and front somersaults. Increased time and distance components are incorporated for skills like flutter kick on front and back, whip kick on back, front and back crawl, and interval training.
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 3 (Complete)
Red Cross Swim Kids Level 4 (Complete OR Incomplete)
Red Cross Swim Kids Level 5 (Incomplete)
Swim For Life Swimmer 2 (Complete)
Swim For Life Swimmer 3 (Incomplete)
Prior to attending this swimming level, the participant should be able to:
- Comfortably submerge their entire body with eyes open, blowing bubble and retrieving a sunken object from the pool floor.
- Jump into chest-deep water with no assistance from an instructor or floatation aide.
- Float on their front and back for 10 seconds with no assistance from an instructor or floatation aide.
- Glide while kicking on their front, back and side for 10m with no assistance from an instructor or floatation aide.
- Perform proper whip kick in a vertical position with the use of a floatation aide and no assistance from an instructor.
- Perform proper front and back crawl for 10m each.
*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 2 or Swimmer 1 for the next session.*
