WHAT IS PILATES?
The six principles of Pilates are: concentration, control, center, flow, precision, and breathing. The main focus is to keep your spine young, well aligned, and supple, maintaining its health. Pilates also increases overall flexibility, balance, and coordination for people of all fitness levels and with diverse health histories. Clients notice substantial improvement after only a few sessions in their flexibility and coordination levels. The work in Pilates aims to create a longer and leaner physique, and when done in a circuit that combines both the apparatus and mat, it will give you the fastest results.

SWIM STAGE
DESCRIPTIONS SWIM STARTERS
SWIM BASICS
Accompanied by a parent, infants and toddlers learn to be comfortable in the water and develop swim readiness skills through fun and confidencebuilding experiences, while parents learn about water safety, drowning prevention, and the importance of supervision.
A / WATER DISCOVERY
B / WATER EXPLORATION
Parents accompany children in stage A, which introduces infants and toddlers to the aquatic environment through exploration and encourages them to enjoy themselves while learning about the water.
In stage B, parents work with their children to explore body positions, floating, blowing bubbles, and fundamental safety and aquatic skills.
Students learn personal water safety and achieve basic swimming competency by learning two benchmark skills:
1 / WATER ACCLIMATION
2 / WATER MOVEMENT
3 / WATER STAMINA
Students develop comfort with underwater exploration and learn to safely exit in the event of falling into a body of water in stage 1. This stage lays the foundation that allows for a student’s future progress in swimming.
In stage 2, students focus on body position and control, directional change, and forward movement in the water while also continuing to practice how to safely exit in the event of falling into a body of water.
In stage 3, students learn how to swim to safety from a longer distance than in previous stages in the event of falling into a body of water. This stage also introduces rhythmic breathing and integrated arm and leg action.
4 / STROKE INTRODUCTION
/ STROKE 5 DEVELOPMENT
6 / STROKE MECHANICS
Students in stage 4 develop stroke technique in front crawl and back crawl and learn the breaststroke kick and butterfly kick. Water safety is reinforced through treading water and elementary backstroke.
Students in stage 5 work on stroke technique and learn all major competitive strokes. The emphasis on water safety continues through treading water and sidestroke.
In stage 6, students refine stroke technique on all major competitive strokes, learn about competitive swimming, and discover how to incorporate swimming into a healthy lifestyle.
• S wim, float, swim— sequencing front glide, roll, back float, roll, front glide, and exit • Jump, push, turn, grab
SWIM STROKES
Having mastered the fundamentals, students learn additional water safety skills and build stroke technique, developing skills that prevent chronic disease, increase social-emotional and cognitive well-being, and foster a lifetime of physical activity.
HAVE MORE QUESTIONS? Our front-desk staff is available to answer any questions about the swim lessons program.
