Swim School Progression

Level 1: Readiness for Pre-School (Ages 3-5)

This class is for preschoolers who are new to water activities. We focus on making them comfortable in the water with fun activities like pouring water over their heads and playing imagination games. Safety, such as asking for permission before entering the water, is a priority.

Level 2: Swim School for Pre-School (Ages 3-5)

For preschoolers who are already comfortable underwater, this level teaches basic swimming skills through playful activities. Children learn to float, roll over, and use their arms and legs for movement. Progress is tracked individually in a small group setting.

Level 3: Swim School for Young Children

In this level, children work on breath control, floating, and moving underwater. They learn core swimming skills and start practicing advanced strokes, building endurance and confidence in the water.

Wahoos Stroke School

Our Stroke School helps swimmers advance their skills. It’s divided into two levels:

Level 4: Stroke School (Any Age)

Swimmers must be able to swim 25 yards using basic techniques. Here, they refine freestyle and backstroke and learn new strokes like breaststroke and butterfly. Diving is also introduced.

Level 5: Stroke School – Pre-Swim Team (Any Age)

This level is for those wanting to improve their skills further, regardless of previous experience. It’s great for teens and adults aiming to perfect their strokes for recreation or fitness.

Completion and Advancement

After completing Levels 1-5, swimmers can join the Wahoos Swim Team.

Pre-Swim Team

Pre-Swim Team for Youth (Ages 6 to 18)

This is a great introduction to competitive swimming for young swimmers. They practice three times a week and join the Wahoos Swim Team for additional sessions. A USA Swimming “Flex Membership” is needed. Training covers all four swim strokes and essential techniques.

Pre-Swim Team for Adults (18+)

For adults looking to refine their strokes, this group offers training in all swim techniques. Upon completion, swimmers are ready to join the Wahoo Masters Swim Team.
