► Swim Stages

SWIM STARTERS - Accompanied by a parent, infants and toddlers learn to be comfortable in the water and develop swim readiness skills through fun and confidence- building experiences, while parents learn about water safety, drowning prevention, and the importance of supervision.

The Family YMCA of the Glens Falls Area is proud to announce the launch of our new swim lessons. The updated swim lesson program focuses even more on keeping kids safe in and around the water with an emphasis on true progression of swimming. This update allows us to keep doing what we’ve been doing great and build on it as the leading provider of aquatics in our community.

A / WATER DISCOVERY Parents accompany children in stage A, which introduces infants and toddlers to the aquatic environment through exploration and encourages them to enjoy themselves while learning about the water.

B / WATER EXPLORATION In stage B, parents work with their children to explore body positions, floating, blowing bubbles, and fundamental safety and aquatic skills.

UPGRADE & UPDATED Swim Lessons

SWIM BASICS - Students learn personal water safety and achieve basic swimming competency by learning two benchmark skills:• Swim, float, swim—sequencing front glide, roll, back float, roll, front glide, and exit• Jump, push, turn, grab

1 / WATER ACCLIMATION Students develop comfort with underwater exploration and learn to safely exit in the event of falling into a body of water in stage 1. This stage lays the foundation that allows for a student’s future progress in swimming.

3 / WATER STAMINA In stage 3, students learn how to swim to safety from a longer distance than in previous stages in the event of falling into a body of water. This stage also introduces rhythmic breathing and integrated arm and leg action.

2 / WATER MOVEMENT In stage 2, students focus on body position and control, directional change, and forward movement in the water while also continuing to practice how to safely exit in the event of falling into a body of water.

Page 8: TRY YOUR BEST THIS SPRING - Family YMCA of the Glens Falls … · 2019-02-22 · FAMILY YMCA OF THE GLENS FALLS AREA TRY YOUR BEST THIS SPRING. CHILD CARE PRESCHOOL (FALL 2019)

For questions about ISR contact Jackie Kinney [email protected] 8

SWIM STROKES - Having mastered the fundamentals, students learn additional water safety skills and build stroke technique, developing skills that prevent chronic disease, increase social-emotional and cognitive well-being, and foster a lifetime of physical activity.

4 / STROKE INTRODUCTION Students in stage 4 develop stroke technique in front crawl and back crawl and learn the breaststroke kick and butterfly kick. Water safety is reinforced through treading water and elementary backstroke

5 / STROKE DEVELOPMENT Students in stage 5 work on stroke technique and learn all major competitive strokes. The emphasis on water safety continues through treading water and sidestroke.

6 / STROKE MECHANICSIn stage 6, students refine stroke technique on all major competitive strokes, learn about competitive swimming, and discover how to incorporate swimming into a healthy lifestyle.

NEW!Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) LessonsISR lessons are one-on-one lessons between your child and his/her instructor. Each lesson is 10 minutes long Monday-Friday over the course of approximately 6 weeks. ISR follows time-tested methods and protocols which are designed to ensure your child’s safety both in and around the water. Consistency is crucial and your child’s progress will rely heavily on regular lesson attendance. ISR lessons are a big time commitment. We encourage family members or friends to share the responsibility of bringing your child to his/her lesson.

What is the difference between Infant Swimming Resource (ISR) and YMCA Parent/Child lessons?

Y Parent/Child lessons take place in a group setting and the primary goal of the course is water acclimation. ISR lessons, however, are one-on-one between your child and his/her certified ISR instructor and the focus is on drowning prevention. ISR lessons will teach your child how to self-rescue should he/she ever fall into the water unsupervised.
