The Connection has an aquatics program for every age and ability, whether learning basic strokes or preparing for a swim team. Participants learn at their own pace and advance to the next level accordingly. Small student to instructor ratios ensure a high-quality experience in our beautiful 5 lane, 25 yard pool.

 Classes include: 

• Level 1 ages 5-10 yrs. 
  Basic personal water safety information and skills are taught to help participants feel comfortable in the water and to enjoy water safety.  Swimmers explore movement in the water-bobbing, floating, and gliding.

• LEVEL 2 ages 5-10 yrs
  Swimmers learn to float without support and explore simultaneous and alternating arm and leg actions on the front and back to lay the foundation for future strokes.

• LEVEL 3 ages 6-12 yrs. 
  Swimmers learn to coordinate the front crawl and elementary backstroke. Swimmers are introduced to the scissor and dolphin kicks, the fundamentals of treading water and diving.

• LEVEL 4 ages 6-12 yrs. 
  Swimmers develop confidence in the strokes learned thus far and increase their endurance by swimming greater distances. The back crawl stroke and breaststroke are introduced. The sidestroke and butterfly are built upon. Several new strokes and skills are introduced.

• LEVEL 5 ages 8-14 yrs
  Swimmers refine performance of all strokes-front crawl, elementary backstroke, back crawl stroke, breaststroke, sidestroke, and butterfly and increase their distances. Flip turns on the front and back are introduced. Expectations are higher in regards to distance and quality.

• LEVEL 6 ages 8-14 yrs.
  In Level 6, expectations are quite high in regards to distance and quality. You will learn more complex safety skills that may help you survive in an emergency. Principles of training and how to evaluate your own level of fitness will be taught along with refining already know strokes.

• Pre-Team Workout: Levels 1-3
  This program is designed to help young athletes develop and improve their skills and talents. Swimmers should be proficient in all competitive strokes.
