Whitin Community Center Congratulates Spring American Red Cross Learn to Swim Program Graduates!
The Whitin Community Center is proud to announce the graduates from the American Red Cross Swimming Program from its Spring session. The American Red Cross Learn to Swim program is a comprehensive training program that teaches people to swim and to help them be safe in, on or around water. The program includes swimming courses for all age groups and abilities via six levels of instruction.
The six levels of learn-to-swim instruction help swimmers of all ages and abilities develop their swimming and water safety skills. It is designed to give students a positive learning experience. American Red Cross Learn to Swim teaches aquatic and safety skills in a logical progression. The objective is to teach people to swim and to be safe in, on and around the water.
The six learn-to-swim levels and the objectives for each level include:
§ Level 1 - Introduction to Water Skills. Helps students feel comfortable in the water and to enjoy the water safely.
§ Level 2 - Fundamental Aquatic Skills. Gives students success with fundamental skills.
§ Level 3 - Stroke Development. Builds on the skills in Level 2 by providing additional guided practice.
§ Level 4 - Stroke Improvement. Develops confidence in the strokes learned and to improve other aquatic skills.
§ Level 5 - Stroke Refinement. Provides further coordination and refinement of strokes.
