Youth Swimming

Barb Hunt directs our swim program that will be held at the Charles Town Athletic Club.  Our program offers a variety of classes for children ages 3 months to 10 years of age.  Children will be taught skills such as how to enter and exit a pool, back floating, kicking, arm movement, and more.

Parent-Child Swim

This is an introduction to water class for children ages 3 to 36 months and a parent or guardian.  Participants will learn water adjustment and personal safety as well as basic water skills.  Children must wear snug fitting plastic pants and swim diapers under a swim suit-no disposable or cloth diapers.

Pre-school 1

 In this class, children ages 3-5 will get an introduction to water without a parent.  Children will learn how to blow bubbles, submerge head, float, kick, and stroke on front and back with support.

Pre-school 2

 Children in this class must be able to do all abilities taught in Pre-school 1. Preschoolers will learn how to swim on front and back for 5 yards without support. (Note: Children are usually in this class level 3-5 times.)

Level 1

 This is an introduction to swim for children ages 6-10 years of age.  By the end of class, children should be comfortable in water and should be able to submerge face, float, kick, and stroke on front and back with support.  (Note: Children are usually in this class level 2-3 times.)

Level 2

 In this class, children must be able to swim 5 yards on their front and back.  The objective of this class is to refine strokes and learn the front crawl and back crawl, elementary backstroke, and improve face in breathing and be able to swim 10 yards at the end of the program.

Level 3:

Children ages 6-16 can enjoy this swim program while improving and refining their skills.  Swimmers must be able to swim 25 yards on front and back.
