Swim Lessons for Adult Women (18+), provided in partnership with Minnesota Masters Swimming All instructors, volunteers and lifeguards will be women, and there will be privacy on the pool deck so that women can participate. Women’s Beginner 1 and Beginner 2 will be taught at the same time in the shallow end of the pool. Please read the descriptions below and then indicate your level by answering the Question waiting for you in the registration form. Beginner 1 - Swim ABCs for Fearful or Nervous Swimmers
This program is designed for adults who never learned how to swim or have anxiety around water. Participants will learn to be more comfortable and safer in the water. Participants will learn skills including putting face in the water while blowing bubbles, sculling, kicking, and back float / front float. Participants will be put into small groups of 1 to 2 swimmers and 1 instructor. Each participant will be able to progress at their own pace. Beginner 2 - Swim STROKE Basics
This program is designed for adults who are comfortable in the water and have already mastered all the skills of Swim ABCs (described above). Participants should be able to float on their back and front and recover to standing without assistance. Participants will be put into small groups and will work with an instructor to refine skills including streamline push off, rhythmic breathing, front crawl (“freestyle”) and backstroke.
