All previously learned skills will be reviewed each day. The last 15 – 20 minutes of each day will be used to play a game or have free swim to allow new swimmers to build relationships with Barracuda Swimmers.
All swimmers must be able to pass the Water Competency Test (a.k.a. Swim Test):
- Swim 25 yards of the pool without touching the wall
- Tread water for 1 minute
- Demonstrate a back float
- Jump into pool
If your swimmer hasn’t completed a Swim Test, we’ll offer this test any time during regular family swim or lap swim.
