Swim with Ms. Holly
Swim Levels
Welcome to swimming lessons with Ms. Holly! My lessons accommodate all skill levels, including infants through adults. With daily lessons from Monday to Friday for two weeks, students will thrive in a supportive environment. I focus on positive encouragement and personalized attention, ensuring every student receives the help they need to succeed.
Water Babies
(children under 3 years old)
A teacher-directed class where an adult is in the pool with each child. The students learn to hold their breath, jump in and swim to the adult, swim to the steps, and climb out. They also learn to dive down to retrieve a ring. The class is fun with songs and games, but the little students also learn the basics of beginning swimming.
Beginner 1 (B1)
(starting at age 3)
The Beginner 1 level is for children aged 3 and older students who are not comfortable putting their faces in the water. The goal of the class is for students to become comfortable putting their faces in the water and swimming out to the instructor. The children will also work on back float, jumping in safely and swimming to the side, and diving down to retrieve a ring. The parents do not get in the pool with the children. They are encouraged to stay and cheer for all the students!
Beginner 2 (B2)
The Beginner 2 level is for all students (usually aged 4-6) that are already comfortable putting their faces in the water. The goal of the class is for students to learn how to come up and take breaths of air by themselves. They will also learn to float on their backs, jump in safely, and dive down to retrieve a ring. When students can confidently swim the length of the pool taking breaths by themselves, they are usually ready to move to the stroke class.
Advanced Beginner
The Advanced Beginner class is for students (usually aged 6-8) ready to learn freestyle, elementary backstroke, and backstroke. The students will learn to tread water and survival float. The class teaches basic water safety skills such as reaching assists, boat safety, and rescue breathing. When students are proficient in these skills, they are usually ready to move to the Intermediate class.
