Swim Lessons with Swim Inclusive - Duo 1: Beginner
We are excited to partner with Swim Inclusive this summer for swim lessons at Island Grove! Swim Inclusive is self-owned and self-run by Faye, whose focus is teaching water safety and a learn to swim program. Swim lessons will run six weeks throughout the summer on Fridays only. Faye is the only teacher for this program. Ratios for the Duo classes are up to 12 duos per class. Drop-off level classes are up to 5 students for beginner levels, and up to 6 students for the advanced level. DUO CLASSES MUST HAVE AN ADULT IN THE WATER.There are no refunds or rescheduling of Duo registrants. Classes will be offered in the morning as follows:
9:30: Duo 1
10: Duo 1
10:30: Duo 2-3
11: Drop-Off 1
11:30: Drop-Off 2
12: Drop-Off 3
The placement levels for Drop-Off classes will be based on proficiency and somewhat based on age as well. These are the level descriptions. Feel free to reach out to Swim Inclusive at SwimInclusive@gmail.com with any questions. Duos 1-3 are parent-child duos: a parent (adult chaperone) must be in the water with the child. The biggest difference between the “Duo” levels and the “Drop-Off” levels are that the former is with an adult in the water with the child, and the latter is with only the teacher and children. A beginner over the age of 5 may enroll in the Duo 1 course with their adult, if the parent prefers.All Drop-Off swimmers should come with snugly fitting goggles. Parents of duo swimmers over the age of 3 may want to consider having goggles in case it becomes relevant (no need to introduce them until class time if it becomes necessary). Recommended goggles are anything that are similar to Speedo Vanquishers (adult or junior is sufficient), TYR Blackops, or Arena Python Racing goggles. Duo 1: Parent and child in the water. Beginners start in Duo 1. “Beginners” include those who have never been in a pool, and those who can self-submerge, but cannot travel 6-8+ feet, underwater, with self propulsion. Ideally, the child should be over 2 months and under age 4yo to begin, but older kids are welcome if they are willing to submerge their face in the water. In this level, the child will learn to self-submerge and self-propel themselves for a distance of 6-8+ ft, to their parent and away from their parent, latch onto safety, and pull themselves out of the water. They will learn how to safely fall and jump from a wall. They will learn breath-holding and the beginnings of independent back-floating and proper exhaling. Duo 2-3: Parent and child in the water. Ideally, the child should be a minimum of 18 months to enter this level. There is no max age, as long as the parent is willing to get in with the child and the child has the necessary proficiency. To register for this level, the child must be able to self-submerge, swim horizontally, completely submerged for 6-8 feet, to the parent and away from the parent, and pull themselves out of a pool. The child must be able to kick/propel themselves with a submerged, horizontal, forward motion, look at, reach for and latch onto, the adult’s hand, and push up for their own air; they must also be able to swim to safety, latch on, and pull themselves up for air without assistance. In this level, the child will learn the freestyle stroke, along with independent, rollover rescue breathing, independent back floating, traveling on their backs, intro to backstroke, and streamline dives. If your child has taken more than 10-12 weeks off from formal swim lessons, please consider signing them up for Duo 1. Drop-off 1: Parents are not in the water. Adult chaperone must drop off and pick up the child (camp counselors can escort camp kids). Ratio is up to 5:1. “Beginners” include those who have never been in a pool, and those who can self-submerge, but cannot travel 6-8+ feet, underwater, with self propulsion. Ideally, the child should be a minimum of 4.5 years old. This type of class is best suited for a child who is either a) tolerant of goggles or b) not phobic of facial submersion. The child will learn to self-submerge and self-propel, horizontally, while submerged, a minimum distance of 6-8 ft, to an adult and away from the adult, to the dock/wall and pull themselves out without assistance. Well-fitting goggles with 2 head straps are required. Swim caps are strongly suggested, if hair cannot be completely pulled away from the face. Please msg SwimInclusive@gmail.com if the child has been allowed to swim with puddle jumpers, life jackets, or any other floatation device in the past. Please message if the child has a phobia of full submersion. Drop-off 2: Parents are not in the water. Adult chaperone must drop off and pick up the child (camp counselors can escort camp kids).To enter this level, the child must be able to swim with self-propulsion, horizontally, completely submerged for 6-8 ft, to and away from the wall, and pull themselves out of a pool without assistance. The child must also be able to look at, reach for, latch onto, an adult’s hands and the wall, and then push/pull up for air independently. In this level, the child will learn the freestyle stroke, including independent rollover breathing, and independent back floating (rescue breaths) without assistance. The child will graduate this level when they have mastered 10-12 ft of underwater, horizontal swimming and rollover breathing, streamline diving into the water without assistance, and fetching at least 1 object from the bottom of the pool, and bring it back to their adult. Drop-off 3: Parents are not in the water. Adult chaperone must drop off and pick up the child (this can be arranged with the camp). To enter this level, the child has to be able to swim 10-12 feet, roll onto their backs independently and then back float for a minimum of 5 seconds without assistance, then roll back onto their belly, then perform another independent rollover and back float. The child must be able to fetch an object from the bottom of the pool and return it to an adult. In this level, the child will learn proper techniques for all 4 swim strokes: butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle.Program Cost: $36 per class duo / $37 per class drop off

Ideally, the child should be a minimum of 4.5 years old. This type of class is best suited for a child who is either a) tolerant of goggles or b) not phobic of facial submersion. The child will learn to self-submerge and self-propel, horizontally, while submerged, a minimum distance of 6-8 ft, to an adult and away from the adult, to the dock/wall and pull themselves out without assistance. Well-fitting goggles with 2 head straps are required. Swim caps are strongly suggested, if hair cannot be completely pulled away from the face. Please msg SwimInclusive@gmail.com if the child has been allowed to swim with puddle jumpers, life jackets, or any other floatation device in the past. Please message if the child has a phobia of full submersion. Drop-off 2: Parents are not in the water. Adult chaperone must drop off and pick up the child (camp counselors can escort camp kids).To enter this level, the child must be able to swim with self-propulsion, horizontally, completely submerged for 6-8 ft, to and away from the wall, and pull themselves out of a pool without assistance. The child must also be able to look at, reach for, latch onto, an adult’s hands and the wall, and then push/pull up for air independently. In this level, the child will learn the freestyle stroke, including independent rollover breathing, and independent back floating (rescue breaths) without assistance. The child will graduate this level when they have mastered 10-12 ft of underwater, horizontal swimming and rollover breathing, streamline diving into the water without assistance, and fetching at least 1 object from the bottom of the pool, and bring it back to their adult. Drop-off 3: Parents are not in the water. Adult chaperone must drop off and pick up the child (this can be arranged with the camp). To enter this level, the child has to be able to swim 10-12 feet, roll onto their backs independently and then back float for a minimum of 5 seconds without assistance, then roll back onto their belly, then perform another independent rollover and back float. The child must be able to fetch an object from the bottom of the pool and return it to an adult. In this level, the child will learn proper techniques for all 4 swim strokes: butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke, freestyle.Program Cost: $36 per class duo / $37 per class drop off

Swim Lessons with Swim Inclusive - Drop Off 3: Proficient
We are excited to partner with Swim Inclusive this summer for swim lessons at Island Grove! Swim Inclusive is self-owned and self-run by Faye, whose focus is teaching water safety and a learn to swim program. Swim lessons will run six weeks throughout the summer on Fridays only. Faye is the only teacher for this program. Ratios for the Duo classes are up to 12 duos per class. Drop-off level classes are up to 5 students for beginner levels, and up to 6 students for the advanced level. DUO CLASSES MUST HAVE AN ADULT IN THE WATER.There are no refunds or rescheduling of Duo registrants. Classes will be offered in the morning as follows:
9:30: Duo 1
10: Duo 1
10:30: Duo 2-3
11: Drop-Off 1
11:30: Drop-Off 2
12: Drop-Off 3
The placement levels for Drop-Off classes will be based on proficiency and somewhat based on age as well. These are the level descriptions. Feel free to reach out to Swim Inclusive at SwimInclusive@gmail.com with any questions. Duos 1-3 are parent-child duos: a parent (adult chaperone) must be in the water with the child. The biggest difference between the “Duo” levels and the “Drop-Off” levels are that the former is with an adult in the water with the child, and the latter is with only the teacher and children. A beginner over the age of 5 may enroll in the Duo 1 course with their adult, if the parent prefers.All Drop-Off swimmers should come with snugly fitting goggles. Parents of duo swimmers over the age of 3 may want to consider having goggles in case it becomes relevant (no need to introduce them until class time if it becomes necessary). Recommended goggles are anything that are similar to Speedo Vanquishers (adult or junior is sufficient), TYR Blackops, or Arena Python Racing goggles. Duo 1: Parent and child in the water. Beginners start in Duo 1. “Beginners” include those who have never been in a pool, and those who can self-submerge, but cannot travel 6-8+ feet, underwater, with self propulsion. Ideally, the child should be over 2 months and under age 4yo to begin, but older kids are welcome if they are willing to submerge their face in the water. In this level, the child will learn to self-submerge and self-propel themselves for a distance of 6-8+ ft, to their parent and away from their parent, latch onto safety, and pull themselves out of the water. They will learn how to safely fall and jump from a wall. They will learn breath-holding and the beginnings of independent back-floating and proper exhaling. Duo 2-3: Parent and child in the water. Ideally, the child should be a minimum of 18 months to enter this level. There is no max age, as long as the parent is willing to get in with the child and the child has the necessary proficiency. To register for this level, the child must be able to self-submerge, swim horizontally, completely submerged for 6-8 feet, to the parent and away from the parent, and pull themselves out of a pool. The child must be able to kick/propel themselves with a submerged, horizontal, forward motion, look at, reach for and latch onto, the adult’s hand, and push up for their own air; they must also be able to swim to safety, latch on, and pull themselves up for air without assistance. In this level, the child will learn the freestyle stroke, along with independent, rollover rescue breathing, independent back floating, traveling on their backs, intro to backstroke, and streamline dives. If your child has taken more than 10-12 weeks off from formal swim lessons, please consider signing them up for Duo 1. Drop-off 1: Parents are not in the water. Adult chaperone must drop off and pick up the child (camp counselors can escort camp kids).
