Ironwood Athletic: Club Swim

Swimming Lessons for all ages!

Program Description

Ironwood Athletic: Club Swim Programs are designed to allow our community members the opportunity to become water safe and to develop a love for being in the water.  We love being able to safely enjoy our area lakes, rivers, streams, and pools; and we desire that for you and your family as well.  Our experienced instructors strive to offer the very best to all who participate in classes.
Learning to swim and becoming water safe are skills that take time to develop, so our Club Swim program is a CONTINUOUS PROGRAM.  This means once enrolled, your swimmer will stay enrolled until you inform us in writing that you wish to discontinue your lessons.  This allows your swimmer to have time to develop swimming skills over time, rather than taking lessons for a few weeks, stopping, and then forgetting those skills.

 

LI - Beginner

(for ages 3.5 – 6 approximately)
Introduces the basics of swimming including going under water, experiencing buoyancy, resurfacing, back floating, flutter kicks, basic crawl & back strokes, & getting to the pool edge or shallow end without assistance.

LI - Beginner

(for ages 7 – 11 approximately)
Introduces the basic skills listed above, but to an older group of swimmers.  We strive to group swimmers by AGE & ABILITY, to best meet the needs of every swimmer.

Swimmers graduate to Level 2: Intermediate when very comfortable with face submersion and able to swim half the length of the pool (25 feet) unassisted performing basic crawl & back strokes (form can be very crude at this point)

 

LII - Intermediate

(for those who’ve mastered our Level 1 or equivalent)
Develops basic crawl & back stroke.  Introduces and develops treading water, dives, side stroke, & elementary back stroke. Introduces breast stroke kicks.  All skills are developed through lap swimming and basic swim drills, thus developing strength & endurance.
Swimmers graduate to Level 3: Advanced when able to accomplish an entire lap (unassisted with no rests) performing crawl and back strokes. Must have a good handle on proper breathing technique. 

When initially signing up for lessons, if you think your child is ready for Level 3: Advanced, we require that your swimmer come to a Level 2: Intermediate class for evaluation.
LIII - Advanced

(for those who’ve mastered Level 2 or equivalent)
Perfects all strokes.  Builds Endurance. Introduces Flip Turns.  Develops water safety.  Produces excellent swimmers with terrific form and endurance.

Swim Team Prep
Non-competitive Swim Team (for those who’ve mastered L3 or equivalent)
Focuses on endurance, exercise, fun, stroke technique, starts, stops, & turns.
