Description
Internet Registration has not begun yet. Check Registration Dates in details.
Swimmer 6 is an advanced level for participants 8 years of age or older to be successful in this level as the physical requirements are very demanding. Being the final level in the Swimmer program, swimmers will build up their advanced skillset and work towards mastering stride entries, compact jumps, and lifesaving kicks. They will also refine their strokes to increase their swimming strength, power, and endurance – a 300-meter workout is required to complete this challenging level.
Due to the nature and difficulty of Swim For Life lessons, it is very common for swimmers to do the same level multiple times before moving to the next level.
Prerequisites (at least 1 of the following):
Red Cross Swim Kids Level 8 (Complete OR Incomplete)
Red Cross Swim Kids Level 9 (Incomplete)
Swim For Life Swimmer 5 (Complete)
Swim For Life Swimmer 6 (Incomplete)
Prior to attending this swimming level, the participant should be able to:
- Shallow Dive into deep water.
- Tread water for at least 120 seconds with no assistance from the instructor or floatation aide.
- Perform proper eggbeater for 30 seconds with no assistance from an instructor or floatation aide.
- Perform proper Breaststroke for 25m.
- Perform proper front crawl and back crawl for 50m.
- Perform proper Head-up front crawl for 10m.

*For safety reasons, Vecova kindly asks that caregivers register participants into the correct swim level based on their swimming skills. If the participant cannot show the instructor the above skills on the first day of classes, they may be removed from the lesson and be requested to register in Swimmer 5 or lower for the next session. *
