Swim Lessons
What lesson programs do you offer?
The LSL Sea Lions offer three different levels of lessons based on skill and ability:
- Starfish: This class is for beginning swimmers and will help introduce your child to the water. This includes activities such as water exploration, bubble blowing, floating and kicking on front/back, bobs, and shallow water recovery of objects.
- Stingray: This class is for intermediate swimmers to build on the skills from our beginning Starfirsh class. This will include stroke development, front crawl w/proper breathing, water entries, and underwater swimming.
- Sea Lion Pups: This class is designed for competent swimmers that want to build their technique. It includes further stroke development in all 4 strokes, endurance work, dive entries, turns, and treading water.
Who teaches the lessons?
The LSL Sea Lions have a very successful swim lesson program, taught by Assistant and Swimmer Coaches on from our swim team and is coordinated by our Lesson Coordinator. Every year swimmers move from our lesson program to become full participants on the swim team.
