Join us for an exciting swimming adventure at Cunningham Pool! Due to the popularity of our summer swim camps, we have opened up this camp so that kids can have a fun and safe after school outlet where they can work on homework AND learn to swim. Our lifeguard camp leaders will assist with homework and teach daily swim lessons to all participants. Swimming is a life skill that used to be in the school curriculum but has been taken out; and now YOU can put it back in! For more information contact Dustin Stene at 707-648-4663

Participant options:
• Guided walk over from Pennycook
• Van pick up from Glen Cove / Vallejo Charter / Elmer Cave
• Parent drop off at pool
• More locations upon request

Classes are limited to 8 students per instructor to provide for individualized attention. Students are grouped with other children of equal abilities and follow the Learn-To-Swim guidelines for levels 1-4.

Level 4 – Stroke Improvement:
The objective for this class is to build on the skills in Level 3 by providing additional guided practice. Students will begin coordinating the front and back crawl strokes. Participants will be introduced to diving from the side of the pool, survival floating, breaststroke and sidestroke.

Level 3 – Stroke Development:
The objective of this class is to give students success with fundamental skills. Students begin learning alternating and simultaneous arm and leg actions on their front and back, jumping in from the side of the pool, treading water and dolphin/breaststroke kicks.

Level 2 – Fundamental Aquatic Skills:
The objective of this class is to teach independent movement in the water. Students will learn to float on their front and back without support and to recover to a vertical position. Entering and exiting the pool independently is also introduced.

Level 1 – Intro to Water Skills:
The objective of this class is to help students feel comfortable in the water. Students will learn elementary water skills, which they will build on as they progress through the LTS program. Those who feel comfortable in the water may progress quickly.
