The Norwood Recreation Department offers swim lessons that mirrors the American Red Cross Swim Lesson Programs. Everyone can learn to swim in a safe and comfortable environment. Lessons begin by helping students adjust to the water and as ability increases, students will learn essential skills and stroke development. Parents are not permitted in the swim area but may watch from behind the surrounding fence. Classes take place, rain or shine, and are only cancelled due to thunder & lightning. Sorry, no make-up classes.
Before registering for any swim lessons, please be sure to read the swim lesson description carefully to help you place your child properly into a program.
Level 2 : Preschool swim lessons serve as an introduction to water safety. Children will learn how to keep themselves safe around bodies of water;waiting for adults, slowly entering water, different water depths, etc. The Pre-School level focuses mainly on introducing children to the water and empowering them to feel comfortable while learning skills with an instructor.
Level 4: Allows for children to continue to work on improving their stroke(s) while gaining continued endurance. In this level children will also begin to add additional aquatic skills, such as diving.
Level 6: Tying together all of the skills and techniques learned in previous lessons. Children begin to cover greater distances and incorporate timed swims during their lesson time. The ultimate goal of Level 6 is to have children swimming with ease throughout distance swims. The mastery of Level 6 Swim Lessons is a requirement for those looking to become lifeguards or Water Safety Instructors.
