Native Landscaping
Ages 13 & older. Learn about naturescaping: the use of native plants, rocks and water features, in place of groomed lawns. Native landscaping reaps the benefits of indigenous plants that have evolved locally and are habituated to our climate. Most require few to no soil amendments, irrigation, pesticides, or herbicides for creating a beautiful, low maintenance, and more sustainable landscape. Additionally, native plants, including trees, shrubs, groundcover & grasses, can provide suitable habitat to attract butterflies, birds and other wildlife. Fee is per person. Class fee is nonrefundable. Hawthorn Glen (Ages 13 & up) .......... ......................................... #37895 Sat., Mar 2, 10:00AM-11:30AM $4 Residents/$8 Non-Residents

Passed Level 2 or can demonstrate completion of all requirements in Level 2.
The infant program introduces the child to water in a friendly environment. The programs focus is exploration and includes songs and games. Parents will gain tips in water safety for their infants. Lil Squirts swim lessons acquaint the child with water through a combination of songs, games and basic water skills such as kicking and floating. Water safety practices will also be included. Tiny-tots build elementary aquatic skills including independent floating, breath control and rudimentary paddling techniques. Safety skills include breaking the overconfident toddler to allow your child to realize what it takes to swim independently in water. Participants are introduced to elementary swimming skills such as kicking in a variety of ways, floating, and rhythmic breathing. This course serves as an appropriate transition to Level One. Parents will elaborate on safety skills, including swimming with their tot in tow. In the LITTLE Level 1/2 classes, the same elementary aquatic skills from Level One/Two are taught (see descriptions below.) In addition to meeting minimum 42 height requirement, your youngster should be able to be in class without you for the 45 minute class period. Instructors will advise promotion options based on age & skill. In Level 1, elementary aquatic skills are taught, which children will build on as they progress through the six Learn-to-Swim levels. In addition to rhythmic breathing and floating, skills include various kicks and arm strokes. At this level, children also start to develop positive attitudes and safe practices around the water. The objective of Level 2 is to give children success with fundamental skills. Children learn: floating without support and recovering to a vertical position, exploring simultaneous and alternating arm and leg motion to lay the foundations for future strokes. An introduction to deep water is included in this course. Level 3 builds on the skills learned in Level 2 by providing additional guided practice. Children learn: coordinating the front crawl, elementary backstroke, fundamentals of treading water, rules for head first entries and additional safety skills. Most importantly, children who successfully complete this course will be ready to swim in deep water. The objective of Level 4 is to develop confidence in the strokes learned thus far and to improve other aquatic skills. Children learn: improved skills and increased endurance in the familiar strokes (front/back crawl), and are introduced to the elementary backstroke, breaststroke, sidestroke, and butterfly. The objective of Level 5 is to coordinate the strokes that were introduced in 5. Students will put together the mechanics for elementary backstroke, breaststroke, sidestroke and butterfly. Underwater swimming & surface dives will also be included. Level 6 refines all 6 strokes. Children learn: advanced techniques in all strokes (front/back crawl, butterfly, breaststroke, elementar y backstroke, sidestroke) and will increase their distance endurance. Flip turns at the wall and improved diving skills will provide the student with the essentials to pursue swimming as a sport. The objective of Level 7 is to fine-tune swimming strokes to allow students to swim with efficiency and power. Four distinct Level 7 modules allow swimmers to broaden their aquatics skills into 4 different areas. Module options include: Personal Water Safety (7PWS), Fundamentals of Diving (7D), Fitness Swimmer (7FS), and Lifeguard Readiness (7LR). Please check the listing to determine which modules are offered this season.
