Swim Lessons

Campers will have a chance to show their swimming ability to staff on the day they arrive. Campers will be asked to swim four laps of different strokes: the elementary backstroke, the front crawl, the breaststroke and a stroke of the camper's choice. In addition, each camper will be asked to tread water for one minute and demonstrate their plunge and recover ability. Staff will determine the camper's swimming ability and place them in a swimming class accordingly. Swimming class will be one of his afternoon activities.

Campers who have complete mastery of all swim strokes and good endurance will not be placed in a swimming class but may elect to take an advanced aquatic class.

Endurance and ability in the water will be evaluated throughout the session and campers may change levels as their confidence and endurance in the water improves.
