Level 6 Swim Lesson Descriptions

With our ongoing Learn to Swim Marketing Campaign, one of the feedback questions we receive is “what aquatic programs do you have for my pre -teen?” We are excited to offer two new opportunities for young adults who have taken and passed level 6. These lessons are geared for individuals who are between 11 – 13 years of age.

The first new level 6 you’ll see is the level 6 Open Water. This class will prepare and challenge your child for long distance swimming in an open water facility. This class will take place on Tuesday and Thursday nights at Globe Hollow. You will learn the different challenges you could encounter while swimming open water as well as gaining endurance for long distance swimming.

The other branch that we are excited to announce is Level 6 Lifeguard and Water Sport Introduction. This class will take place on Monday and Wednesday nights at Globe Hollow. Your child will learn introductory skills of lifeguarding as well as the different types of water sport activities.

Both classes will have guest instructors and the opportunity to meet professionals in the aquatic field.
