Cambridge-Isanti Community Education

Students should bring a towel and come dressed to swim. Children ages 5 & up may participate in these lessons. Locker rooms will be available on a limited basis. Each level of “Learn to Swim” includes training in basic water safety and helping a swimmer in distress, in addition to the skills outlined here. Level 1: Introduction to Water Skills This class is designed to help first-time swimmers become comfortable in the water. Students will learn skills in water entry/exit, breath control, floating and alternating arm action. Level 2: Fundamental Aquatic Skills Students will learn fundamental skills of propelling themselves in the water. Level 3: Stroke Development Skills covered include coordinated front crawl, elementary backstroke and treading water. Safe diving skills will be introduced. Level 4: Stroke Improvement Students will develop endurance and coordination of crawl and elementary back stroke, introduction to breast stroke and turns. Level 5: Stroke Refinement Students will improve on previously learned strokes and will be introduced to butterfly, open turns, springboard diving and distance swimming. Level 6: Swimming & Skill Proficiency Stroke refinement is learned so students swim with ease, efficiency, power and smoothness over greater distances. Registration includes 8 lessons, each 30 minutes in length. A swim level assessment may be done on the first session of lessons. Staff reserve the right to move a student from one skill level to another. Enter the building through door #1 (the main entrance to the High School).
