AQUATIC PROGRAMS - PROGRESSIVE 


 

Please attend your scheduled class, as make up classes will not be available.

PROGRESSIVE (Ages 7 - 13 years)

POLLIWOG (45 min.)

This is the beginning level for school-age children.  It acquaints children with the pool, the use of flotation devices and front and back floating.  By the end of this level, students should know the front paddle stroke, side and back paddle strokes and some synchronized swimming and wetball skills (the lead up game to water polo).

 

GUPPY (45 min.)

Students continue to practice and build upon basic skills, now performing more skills without the aid of a flotation device.  They are introduced to lead-up skills for the front and back crawl, sidestroke, breaststroke and elementary backstroke.  More synchronized swimming and wetball skills are taught, as well as some diving skills.

 

MINNOW (45 min.)   

This is the initial intermediate level.  The children further refine the lead-up skills they have learned for the front crawl, back crawl, sidestroke, breaststroke and elementary backstroke.  They will learn more synchronized swimming, wetball and diving skills.

 

FISH (45 min.)

Students will work to refine the front crawl, elementary backstroke, back crawl, breaststroke and sidestrokes.  They will also learn to perform these strokes with turns.  Students are introduced to the butterfly and continue learning additional synchronized swimming, wetball and diving skills.  They may also be introduced to the use of mask and fins and springboard diving.

 

FLYING FISH (45 min.)

At this advanced level, students work on refining all their strokes and increasing their endurance.  They develop the ability to perform more complex combinations of synchronized swimming skills.  Students learn to dive off a starting block and/or a one-meter board, if available.  They develop better water polo playing skills.

 

SHARK (45 min.)

The students at this level continue to improve all their strokes with starts and flip turns and are introduced to the inverted breaststroke, the trudgen crawl and the overarm sidestroke.  Opportunities are provided for further work on synchronized swimming, water polo, skin diving and springboard diving (if available). 

 

TEEN H2O (50 min.)

Hillsborough Family YMCA is proud to offer Teen H2O; a new program designed for all level swimmers; those who wish to learn the art of swimming, and those who wish to improve their swimming skills. Throughout the course, swimmers will work on all four competitive styles:  freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke, and butterfly, as well as starts and turns.  Program curriculum will also include various static and dynamic swimming drills to work on increasing strength, endurance and stamina. 

Prerequisite: Participants must be between the ages of 13 – 18.   Swimmers will be evaluated on the first day of lessons to determine their appropriate level.   A YMCA membership is not required to participate in this program. 

 

STROKE MECHANICS (60 min.)

This program is for swimmers who have completed Shark or the equivalent and want to continue improving their techniques in all strokes and turns.  Interval training for swimming is introduced at this level.  Students must be ages 8 and up who have a recommendation from their Shark Class Instructor or have received approval from the Aquatic Director.

 

INTRODUCTION TO COMPETITIVE SWIMMING (60 min.)

Designed for the swimmer interested in exploring what competitive swimming is all about.  This class is for ages 10 and up.  Students must be able to swim front crawl, back crawl, breaststroke and some butterfly and have completed the SHARK level or have the approval of the Aquatic Director.
