Swim Lessons
Group Lessons
MSTA offers a Swim Lesson Program coordinated by swim coach Hilary Fritz. The lessons are taught by top swimmers on our McLean Marlins swim team. The program offers five levels of group instruction from tiny tots to stroke development.
We ask that you assess your child’s swimming ability based on the descriptions of the levels below. The instructors will evaluate students in the first couple of days and may move your child to a more appropriate level.
Classes
| Level | Age | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 16 Months – 3 Years | Gentle instruction, learn to relax in water safely. |
| 2 | 3 – 5 years | Toilet-trained swimmers introduced to large pool. |
| 3 | 4 – 6 Years | Kick on front and back; stroke readiness. |
| 4 | 4 – 7 Years | Basic breathing and arm strokes, front and back. |
| 5 | 5 – 8 Years | Front crawl, back stroke, diving and safety skills. |
