Vandalia Rec Center

Children will work to improve their freestyle and backstroke in this class while learning all 4 competitive strokes. Emphasis will be placed on developing strokes that are swim meet legal. Skills include strong freestyle and backstroke, strong kicks (flutter, butterfly, breaststroke), novice breaststroke and butterfly, tread for 1 minute, standing dives, surface dives, flip turns. After mastery is achieved, swimmers will refine all 4 competitive strokes while gradually increasing strength and endurance. The ultimate goal is to swim each of the four competitive strokes legally for the specified distances.
