Swim Lessons Level 3

This program is currently unavailable. Click here to view all of our current programs.


The Kearney Park & Recreation Department is coordinating the summer swim lesson program at Harmon and Centennial Swimming Pools.  The lessons will follow the American Red Cross Learn-to-Swim format.  Class registration will be done through KPR by phone, mail, online, or in person at the KPR Office.
Guidelines to know before registering for classes:




  • You may only register your child for one class at a time. Once the class has concluded, you may register for an additional class.


  • Please register at least 3 working days before the start of the class.


  • Class registration cannot be done at the swimming pools.


  • Closely review the “prerequisites” of each class before registering to determine the level your child should be in.




 To enter LEVEL 3, students must have passed Level 2 or be able to:




  • Step from side into chest-deep water, move into a front float for 5 seconds, roll to back, float for 5 seconds then return to a vertical position.


  • Move into a back float for 5 seconds, roll to front then recover to a vertical position.


  • Push off and swim using combined arm and leg actions on front for 5 body lengths, roll to back, float for 15 seconds, roll to the front then continue swimming for 5 body lengths. (You can assist the participant when taking a breath.)




 
The American Red Cross Level 3 lessons are the equivalent of Minnows in YMCA lessons.
