Level 1 – Comfort in the Water

Beginner from Kindergarten

Level 1 is for beginner swimmers. In this level we teach students how to develop a comfortable air exchange through nose bubbles while also learning body positions that will make swimming easier and more efficient. Level 1 swimmers focus on:

Enter and exit water independently

Face in the water 3 seconds, nose bubbles

Assisted front/back float and glide

Assisted roll-over, assisted jump in from side

Advancement: 10 relaxed independent wall bobs

Where do I check-in for lessons?

Please check in at the Welcome Desk.
Let the Welcome Desk know if you are new to UVAC and they can direct you down the hall to our locker rooms!
All of our locker rooms also exit onto the deck of the Warm Water Pool where our lessons are conducted!

What should I bring for swim lessons?

Please bring:

Towels
Desired Toiletries
REQUIRED Swim Diaper
- Reusable swim diapers are allowed
- We also have disposable swim diapers available at the Welcome Desk for $3
- Please don’t take swim diapers off on the pool deck, but rather wait to be in the locker rooms or front hall bathroom, Thank you!

Can we stay and swim after our lesson?

Unfortunately, extended swimming is not yet available for weekend lessons

Can both parents participate in Parent & Me Lessons?

Space permitting both parents may participate in the class!

Anything else we should know about swim lessons at UVAC?

If you’ve never been here before, when you go back into the locker rooms after being in the warm water… it will feel chillier… but if you bring your towels on deck with you, that will help!
Please review our current Swim Lesson Protocols (Link to protocols page).
