Swimming courses for children from 3 to 17 years of age are held at the San Joaquin campus swimming pool.
The child attends the classes with a parent or guardian, must be at least 3 years old and have sphincter control. At this level, the child will have his/her first approach to the aquatic environment in a small pool of 110 centimeters deep. We work on flotation, breathing, familiarization with the environment and strengthening personal confidence.
The child enters the water with help, but without fear, moves through the water with support material and submerges completely.
The child enters the water without assistance, can float and move around the pool without support material and dives with his/her whole body until he/she can touch the bottom of the pool.
The child propels himself with his legs into the water, coordinates stroke with kick and begins to work on the different swimming techniques such as Crawl and Backstroke.
The courses will begin in the month of March, in case of initiation level, classes will be held in the small pool with the proxy (must have sphincter control and not use diapers).
Each course session lasts 45 minutes in the water.
Proxy of initiation level must wear swimsuit, sandals and swimming cap.
