Westonka/American Red Cross-affiliated Swimming Lessons We have adapted the American Red Cross program and customized it to fit Westonka Community Education & Services' needs best. It is a comprehensive and developmentally appropriate swim program that teaches all ages how to swim skillfully and safely. The prerequisite for each level is determined by age and successful demonstration of skills from the preceding level. Each level also includes water safety. Each class will begin with a brief skill assessment to ensure that everyone is enrolled in the appropriate level. All students must be able to perform the exit skills prior to moving to the next level. All of our instructors are certified through the American Red Cross. All classes are held at the Mound Westonka High School Pool - please enter through the Westonka Activity Center. Tiny Hawks White Suggested Ages 4 & up $60 Prerequisite: successful completion of Tiny Hawks Red. The objective is to build on the basic aquatic skills learned in Tiny Hawks Red and to give children further success with fundamental aquatics skills performed to a slightly more advanced degree. Most skills are performed with assistance. This level marks the beginning of independent aquatic locomotion skills. Children continue to explore using simultaneous and alternating arm and leg actions on the front and back to gain more proficiency for future strokes. Exit skills: (skills may be performed with support) glide on front at least two body lengths, roll to back, float on back for five seconds then recover to a vertical position. Glide on back for at least two body lengths, roll to front, float for five seconds then recover to a vertical position. Swim using combined arm and leg actions on front for three body lengths, roll to back, float for five seconds, roll to front then continue swimming on front for three body lengths.
