Whether you’re just starting out or just want help with your strokes, our Teen & Adult program is for you. Set your own goals. Work with certified instructors to learn to swim, or improve your current swimming ability and water fitness.
You won’t be going to the Olympics, but you’ll develop water confidence and smooth recognizable strokes good enough for lane swimming and fit enough for the beach. We incorporate Lifesaving Society Water Smart® education in all Teen & Adult levels.
TEEN /ADULT 1: You’ll work towards a 10–15 m swim on your front and back. You’ll do jump entries from the side and recover an object from the bottom in chest-deep water. Improve your fitness and your flutter kick with 4 x 9–12 m interval training.
TEEN/ADULT 2: Kick it up a notch working on two interval training workouts of 4 x 25 m kicking and front or back crawl. You’ll be able to perform dive entries and demonstrate breaststroke arms and breathing over 10–15 m. You’ll be supporting yourself at the surface for 1–2 minutes, and showing off your handstands in shallow water.
TEEN/ADULT 3: No sweat (or at least none anyone can see). You’ll learn eggbeater, stride entries and compact jumps. You’ll be doing a 300 m workout and sprinting 25–50 m. You’ll master your front crawl, back crawl and breaststroke. Whew!
Fitness Swimmer: No matter what your age, Fitness Swimmer lets you set your own goals to improve overall physical fitness. Fitness Swimmer is a structured approach based on accepted training principles and practices including interval training, sprints and distance swims.
