About the PODS classes

This beginner adult class introduces basic aquatic skills and swimming strokes, including the front crawl, breaststroke, and elementary backstroke. Participants strive for proficiency in stroke performance. Participants will also learn the skills and concepts needed to stay safe around water, in addition to those needed to help themselves or others in an aquatic emergency. No prerequisites required. This class is held in the shallow area of the pool.

This course is for swimmers ages 14+ interested in preparing for a Red Cross-certified lifeguard class. Please note, this class will NOT provide students with a lifeguard certification. The focus of this course is to ensure that all students will be able to complete requirements for lifeguard courses.

This course is for beginners who have had little or no swimming experience.

Students will work toward swimming the freestyle and backstroke 100 yards, breaststroke 50 yards, legal butterfly 25 yards, and a medley with proper starts and turns.
