Saturdays: March 24, March 31, April 21, April 28

These lessons are geared towards young swimmers age 4-and-up and will be conducted in half-hour sessions, either 9-9:30 a.m. or 9:30-10 a.m. on Saturdays, or 6-6:30 p.m. on Mondays. Three levels of swimming lessons will be offered. Lessons will be offered as packages of 3,4,5,7 or 9 lessons in any combination of dates.
Level One: For young swimmers who have little or no swimming experience. We will focus on basic water safety and skills such as blowing bubbles, becoming comfortable putting their face in the water, front and back float, and swimming fundamentals.
Level Two: For swimmers who possess the fundamentals and are comfortable with their face in the water. We will be focusing on teaching front crawl and back crawl, introducing the breaststroke kick as well as basic diving skills.
Level Three: For swimmers who can swim front and back crawl. We will be focusing on fine tuning these strokes as well as teaching the breaststroke, butterfly, and introducing flip turns and other swimming skills.
Stroke Clinic: The stroke clinic will be offered from March 24th to April 28th on the Saturdays below from 9-10am. Clinic participants age 18 and under should be able to legally swim all four strokes and have some competitive swimming background. Each week will focus on a different stroke and work to fine tune that stroke and teach appropriate starts, turns, and finishes for that stroke. The clinic will be run by members of the Bucknell Swimming & Diving coaching staff.
