Swimmers will be introduced to breaststroke and butterfly kicks. Swimmers will also start to build endurance of 15-25 yards.

Preschool Stage 1 & 2 Swim Lessons

These first two stages are designed to guide beginner swimmers through the development of breath control (bubble blowing), submersion (bobs), front and back floating and gliding (5-10Ft), treading (10sec) and independent exit from the pool. By the end of Stage 2, all skills will be unassisted. Benchmark skills for these levels include jump-push-turn-grab and swim-float-swim (15ft). No prerequisite or swim evaluation needed.

Montessori Swim Lessons

The basis of Y swim lessons is water safety skills. In our preschool swim lesson program, students learn personal water safety and achieve basic swimming competency by learning two benchmark skills: swim, float, swim—sequencing front glide, roll, back float, roll, front glide and exit—and jump, push, turn, grab. As students progress, they are taught the recommended skills for all to have around water, including safe water habits, underwater exploration and how to swim to safety and exit in the event of falling into a body of water.
