The Summer Aquatics program at San Marino offers recreational
swim and other aquatics activities conducted at the San Marino
High School pool. In addition to different levels of swim
instruction classes offered (see descriptions below), private
lessons, recreational swim, lap swim and a Junior Lifeguard
program are also available during the summer.
Level Descriptions
Whale Tales
– An introductory class for moms and dads and their infants and
toddlers. We help get them used to being in the water as well as
introduce them to things like blowing bubbles, arm circles and
kicking. Students must be at least 18 months old, and
parent/adult accompaniment in the water is required.
Tiny Tots
– An introductory class for infants and toddlers to get them
used to being in the water without their mom or dad. Beginning
skills are introduced.
Level 1
– Children should be comfortable in the water without their
parents. We work on putting their face in the water, bobbing
while holding onto the wall, gliding on front and back
(supported), jumping in from the wall, kicking on front and back
(with kickboard) and introducing alternating arm action.
Level 2
– This course covers the same skills as Level 1, but students
are more on their own. Children should be able to perform the
skills in Level 1 on their own by the end of the session.
Level 3
– In order to enter Level 3, children should be able to swim
across the pool on their fronts and backs unsupported. We work
on front and back crawl (with breathing to front or side),
elementary backstroke, kneeling and compact dive, and introduce
side breathing.
Level 4
– In order to enter Level 4, children should be able to perform
the skills taught in Level 3 on their own. We work on deep water
bobs, standing dive, elementary backstroke, front and back
crawl, breaststroke (with and without kickboard), and introduce
sidestroke.
Level 5
– In order to enter Level 5, children should be able to perform
the skills taught in Level 4 on their own, and should be able to
swim the long length (deep end) of the pool. We work on
elementary backstroke, front and back crawl, breaststroke,
sidestroke and butterfly (kick).
Level 6
– Stroke refinement.
