Swim Lesson Level Descriptions:   Parent & Tot Lessons: AGES 6 mo.-3yrs. This is an introduction to water where the parent/guardian is in the water with the child. Children will enjoy splashing, floating, kicking, and group activities with parents and other children their age. The goal is to acclimate our youngest pre-swimmers to an aquatic environment at an early age so they are comfortable, happy and ready to learn the basic swimming skills at the next level without a parent.  Any children who are not potty-trained MUST wear a swimming diaper AND a bathing suit OR plastic pants.   This program is for children ages 6 months to 3 years old.   Preschool Lessons: AGES 3-5yrs. This water readiness class enables younger swimmers to enjoy the water without a parent/guardian. Together with instructors, they will take part in various games, songs and activities designed to make them comfortable in the water while providing the basics needed to swim. The goal of this lesson will be for the child to feel confident enough to put their face in the water. All participants should be able to separate from their parent easily.   Level 1  BUBBLERS This lesson helps children feel comfortable in the water while they learn elementary water and safety skills.

Due to the large number of children on our Waiting list, we will be using this new refund policy: Cancellations properly submitted before the registration close date of your child’s scheduled week will receive a full refund. This time allows adequate opportunity to get another camper enrolled. Cancellations made after registration close for your child’s scheduled week will be charged a 25% cancellation fee. At this time your camper has already been placed into an age appropriate group, we have staffed accordingly, and any changes affect the entire camp. Cancellations made within 7 calendar days of the start of your child’s scheduled week will be charged a 50% cancellation fee. One week before camp starts, field trip tickets have been paid for and it is often too short notice to get someone enrolled from the Waiting list.       In order to serve you better, Southbury Parks and Recreation's programs are subject to change.

The goal is to acclimate our youngest pre-swimmers to an aquatic environment at an early age so they are comfortable, happy and ready to learn the basic swimming skills at the next level without a parent.  Any children who are not potty-trained MUST wear a swimming diaper AND a bathing suit OR plastic pants.   This program is for children ages 6 months to 3 years old.   Preschool Lessons: AGES 3-5yrs. This water readiness class enables younger swimmers to enjoy the water without a parent/guardian. Together with instructors, they will take part in various games, songs and activities designed to make them comfortable in the water while providing the basics needed to swim. The goal of this lesson will be for the child to feel confident enough to put their face in the water. All participants should be able to separate from their parent easily.   Level 1  BUBBLERS This lesson helps children feel comfortable in the water while they learn elementary water and safety skills. Swimmers must be able to separate easily from parents. The goal is to build confidence and begin to feel comfortable with breath holding, putting their face in, blowing bubbles, bobbing with bubbles, and forward movement. The goal is to and move forward in the water at least 5 feet with their face in.   Level 2 FLOATERS Level 2 FLOATERS must be able to put their face in, hold their breath, bob and blow bubbles. Swimmers will learn to float on their front and back and glide a bit on both sides. Fundamental kicking and breathing skills will be introduced. Focus will be on encouraging floating and gliding forward in the water for several feet.       Level 3 KICKERS Level 3 KICKERS must be able to hold their breath and float independently. Swimmers will learn to combine kicking with gliding on their front and on their back. They will work to develop endurance needed to kick 15 feet. Jumping into deep water will be introduced with gliding and kicking back to the wall encouraged.    Level 4 CRAWLERS Level 4 swimmers will continue to build confidence in the water and will continue to work on breathing, gliding and kicking on top of the water, both on their fronts and on their backs. Swimmers will work to get their arms out of the water, on their fronts and on their backs. Rotary breathing with freestyle arm stroke will be added, and swimmers will work to coordinate breathing with freestyle arms and legs in order to swim for at least 20 feet. The goal will be to swim a full lap without stopping. Level 5 SWIMMERS Swimmers will continue to build endurance in the water and will continue to work on the freestyle technique. Emphasis will be on coordinating freestyle breathing with freestyle arms and legs, as well as proper arm rotation with backstroke kicking. Breaststroke and butterfly will be introduced. The goal is to swim 2 laps of the pool without stopping. Racing starts will be introduced in this lesson. _________________________________________________________ Swim Lesson Need to Know:   Please arrive 5 minutes prior to your child’s lesson so they benefit from the entire lesson and do not have to join once the lesson is underway.   Children should arrive for lessons in their swim suit. Children with long hair should have their hair tied up in a ponytail. Please have goggles for your child if they want to wear them. The pool will not be able to supply goggles.   Once delivering your child to the designated lesson area, please move to a chair away from the poolside. We encourage you to watch the lesson but advise that you remain away from the pool side. Please do not hover; don’t send the message to your child that you don’t trust the instructors by lingering at the side of the pool. Please remain in your viewing spot throughout the entire lesson.   Instructors reserve the right to determine your child’s skill level and adjust class placement if necessary.Program registration is for the totality of the program. Make-up lessons due to weather cancellations are not always possible. ________________________________________________________________ STP Swim Lesson Weather Policy:   We hope for beautiful, warm and sunny days for our swim lessons. However, Mother Nature often has a different plan.    Swim lessons at STP will take place as scheduled if it is drizzly or raining. We will not hold lessons if there is torrential rain, thunder or lightning.    We will make the decision to hold lessons a half hour prior to the start of the first lesson of the day. Please check for Alerts posted on the MyRec Home page. We look forward to seeing you at the pool!In order to serve you better, Southbury Parks and Recreation's programs are subject to change.

Children will leave with plans or portfolios they can explain and be proud of. The camp will still have built in play time and games, but each day has purposeful, structured learning. SPARK camp will be led by school professionals, with the exception of the lunch and swim time break at noon, when ADC counselors will bring the campers to Ballantine Pool for their swim lessons and pool time. Each week will have a different theme and separate the campers into age appropriate groups. SPARK Enrichment Camp Week One Monday 6/22 - Friday 6/26, 9:00am-3:00pm: "Craft & Invention Fair":Let's get crafty! Young entrepreneurs will create handmade items to "sell" to other "vendors" at their very own craft fair!

They will produce goods and learn to create appealing advertising and displays. Other related topics will be discussed such as counting currency, budgeting, profit margins, buying and selling, and assessing the quality of goods. SPARK Enrichment Camp Week Two Monday 6/29 - Thursday 7/2, 9:00am-3:00pm: "Build a Biz":In this empowering program, campers apply their personal skills and interests toward being an entrepreneur! Campers will brainstorm their own business ideas based on personal interests, design marketing materials including business cards and flyers, then determine pricing needed to make a profit. Students have fun while developing business savvy and will wrap up the week launching their businesses at an event to raise money for a charity they select! *there is no camp Friday July 3rd* _____________________________________________________________Adventure Day Camp (ADC) - July 6th - August 14th, Mon - Fri, 8:30am-4:00pm Adventure Day Campers will enjoy days full of sports and games, creative art projects, swim lessons, and fun in the sun. ADC will have entertainers on Tuesdays (such as Mini-Golf and Laser tag vendors) and scheduled field trips on Thursdays, (such as Quassy and the CT Science Center).
