This class is designed for adults who want to build confidence, improve technique, or return to swimming in a supportive and low-pressure environment. Participants will develop or refine fundamental skills including breathing control, body position, floating, and efficient propulsion, with a focus on improving ease, efficiency, power, and smoothness in front crawl and back crawl over short to moderate distances. Based on participant readiness and goals, breaststroke and sidestroke may also be introduced. Students will be introduced to basic wall skills and turning techniques as appropriate, as well as essential water safety and self-rescue strategies. Instruction is adapted to individual comfort level, prior experience, and fitness goals, with ongoing review of foundational skills and progressive development of coordination and endurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\t\n\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t
