9:00 AM - 9:30 AM	Summer Swim Lessons Saturdays - Youth Red STARFISH AQUATICS SWIM LESSON CERTIFIED ORGANIZATION!The Town of Waterbury is now a proud provider of Starfish Swimming Lessons, a nationally certified swim instruction curriculum! Starfish Swimming curriculum is designed for students ages 6 months to adult and benchmarks are established at each stage of the program that include swimming AND safety skills. AGE 6 MONTHS – 3 YEARS OLD: StarBabies & Tots – The purpose of this course is to develop a high comfort level in the water with young children, and an accompanying adult. This course does not teach children to become accomplished swimmers or to survive in the water; it provides an entry-level confidence-building, fun, and supportive experience. AGE 3 – 5 YEARS OLD: Pre-K White/Red – Primary water skills in this level are submerging and floating on front and back. Pre-K Yellow/Blue – Primary water skills in this level are moving and changing direction in the water and treading water. Designed to meet the needs of children ages 3 – 5, the course will develop a high-comfort level in the water and a readiness to swim.

8:30 AM - 12:30 PM	Red Cross Lifeguard Course - Red Cross Lifeguarding Course Training to become a certified lifeguard is a rewarding and valuable experience. In this course, you will learn and practice essential skills. Lifeguard training is useful - not only to become certified and be able to work as a lifeguard, but also as an essential skill set in life. Lifeguard training includes several components, such as: Swim and rescue skills - the lifeguard trainee will learn swim and rescue skills, from the proper ways to enter the water in an emergency to safely retrieving someone from the bottom of the pool. Whether you are on the job or swimming with friends, lifeguard swim and rescue skills are important skills to possess. First Aid - during lifeguard training, you will learn to deal with wounds and illnesses, ranging from breaks and scrapes to strokes and seizures. Accidents and illnesses can happen anywhere, and your ability to deal with a medical emergency will assist you when at work as a lifeguard, as well as at home and play. CPR/AED - the lifeguard training program includes CPR and AED training, to assist the victim in a cardiac emergency. Cardiac emergencies are severe and life-threatening wherever and whenever they occur, so your lifeguard training will prepare you to potentially save lives - whether they are at the pool, home or work. This course is a blended learning course, so there are approximately six hours of online learning in addition to the in person hours listed. Participants must be 15 years old by the last day of class. There are prerequisite skills that must be completed on the first day of class. They are: --Complete a swim-tread-swim sequence without stopping. --Retrieve a 10 lb brick from a depth of 7-10 feet in a timed event.

Starfish Swimming curriculum is designed for students ages 6 months to adult and benchmarks are established at each stage of the program that include swimming AND safety skills. AGE 6 MONTHS – 3 YEARS OLD: StarBabies & Tots – The purpose of this course is to develop a high comfort level in the water with young children, and an accompanying adult. This course does not teach children to become accomplished swimmers or to survive in the water; it provides an entry-level confidence-building, fun, and supportive experience. AGE 3 – 5 YEARS OLD: Pre-K White/Red – Primary water skills in this level are submerging and floating on front and back. Pre-K Yellow/Blue – Primary water skills in this level are moving and changing direction in the water and treading water. Designed to meet the needs of children ages 3 – 5, the course will develop a high-comfort level in the water and a readiness to swim. For swimmers who are developmentally ready, it will teach functional swim skills. This class approaches teaching swimming through creative, fun water activities, while working towards developing core competencies while achieving benchmarks at their own pace in a small-group setting.  AGE 5 - 12 YEARS OLD: Youth Red – This level is best suited for participants who may or may not be comfortable submerging face and cannot yet float relaxed on the front and back without support. Youth Yellow – This level is best suited for participants who are comfortable entering the water and floating on front and back, but cannot yet swim extended distances (10+ft) and change direction in the water. Youth Blue – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions (10+ft) in the water, but cannot yet tread for extended periods (15+ sec). Youth Green – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions in the water, and can tread water for 15+ sec, but cannot yet swim basic freestyle stroke with rotary breathing for 25+ yds. This level includes our water competency (deep water) test. Additional Opportunities: Starfish Stroke School – This level is best suited for participants who have passed our water competency test (deep water test) and wish to continue working on stroke development and endurance for a variety of strokes. Waterbury Rapids Swim Team – This independent program runs from the opening of the pool until early August. Practices are Mon, Tue, Wed from 5:00-5:50 for 10 and under, and 6:00-7:15 for 11 and up. Meets are held on Thursdays. Participants must be able to independently swim 25 yds.

8:30 AM - 12:30 PM	Red Cross Lifeguard Course - Red Cross Lifeguarding Course Training to become a certified lifeguard is a rewarding and valuable experience. In this course, you will learn and practice essential skills. Lifeguard training is useful - not only to become certified and be able to work as a lifeguard, but also as an essential skill set in life. Lifeguard training includes several components, such as: Swim and rescue skills - the lifeguard trainee will learn swim and rescue skills, from the proper ways to enter the water in an emergency to safely retrieving someone from the bottom of the pool. Whether you are on the job or swimming with friends, lifeguard swim and rescue skills are important skills to possess. First Aid - during lifeguard training, you will learn to deal with wounds and illnesses, ranging from breaks and scrapes to strokes and seizures. Accidents and illnesses can happen anywhere, and your ability to deal with a medical emergency will assist you when at work as a lifeguard, as well as at home and play. CPR/AED - the lifeguard training program includes CPR and AED training, to assist the victim in a cardiac emergency. Cardiac emergencies are severe and life-threatening wherever and whenever they occur, so your lifeguard training will prepare you to potentially save lives - whether they are at the pool, home or work. This course is a blended learning course, so there are approximately six hours of online learning in addition to the in person hours listed. Participants must be 15 years old by the last day of class. There are prerequisite skills that must be completed on the first day of class. They are: --Complete a swim-tread-swim sequence without stopping. --Retrieve a 10 lb brick from a depth of 7-10 feet in a timed event.

Starfish Swimming curriculum is designed for students ages 6 months to adult and benchmarks are established at each stage of the program that include swimming AND safety skills. AGE 6 MONTHS – 3 YEARS OLD: StarBabies & Tots – The purpose of this course is to develop a high comfort level in the water with young children, and an accompanying adult. This course does not teach children to become accomplished swimmers or to survive in the water; it provides an entry-level confidence-building, fun, and supportive experience. AGE 3 – 5 YEARS OLD: Pre-K White/Red – Primary water skills in this level are submerging and floating on front and back. Pre-K Yellow/Blue – Primary water skills in this level are moving and changing direction in the water and treading water. Designed to meet the needs of children ages 3 – 5, the course will develop a high-comfort level in the water and a readiness to swim. For swimmers who are developmentally ready, it will teach functional swim skills. This class approaches teaching swimming through creative, fun water activities, while working towards developing core competencies while achieving benchmarks at their own pace in a small-group setting.  AGE 5 - 12 YEARS OLD: Youth Red – This level is best suited for participants who may or may not be comfortable submerging face and cannot yet float relaxed on the front and back without support. Youth Yellow – This level is best suited for participants who are comfortable entering the water and floating on front and back, but cannot yet swim extended distances (10+ft) and change direction in the water. Youth Blue – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions (10+ft) in the water, but cannot yet tread for extended periods (15+ sec). Youth Green – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions in the water, and can tread water for 15+ sec, but cannot yet swim basic freestyle stroke with rotary breathing for 25+ yds. This level includes our water competency (deep water) test. Additional Opportunities: Starfish Stroke School – This level is best suited for participants who have passed our water competency test (deep water test) and wish to continue working on stroke development and endurance for a variety of strokes. Waterbury Rapids Swim Team – This independent program runs from the opening of the pool until early August. Practices are Mon, Tue, Wed from 5:00-5:50 for 10 and under, and 6:00-7:15 for 11 and up. Meets are held on Thursdays. Participants must be able to independently swim 25 yds.

Starfish Swimming curriculum is designed for students ages 6 months to adult and benchmarks are established at each stage of the program that include swimming AND safety skills. AGE 6 MONTHS – 3 YEARS OLD: StarBabies & Tots – The purpose of this course is to develop a high comfort level in the water with young children, and an accompanying adult. This course does not teach children to become accomplished swimmers or to survive in the water; it provides an entry-level confidence-building, fun, and supportive experience. AGE 3 – 5 YEARS OLD: Pre-K White/Red – Primary water skills in this level are submerging and floating on front and back. Pre-K Yellow/Blue – Primary water skills in this level are moving and changing direction in the water and treading water. Designed to meet the needs of children ages 3 – 5, the course will develop a high-comfort level in the water and a readiness to swim. For swimmers who are developmentally ready, it will teach functional swim skills. This class approaches teaching swimming through creative, fun water activities, while working towards developing core competencies while achieving benchmarks at their own pace in a small-group setting.  AGE 5 - 12 YEARS OLD: Youth Red – This level is best suited for participants who may or may not be comfortable submerging face and cannot yet float relaxed on the front and back without support. Youth Yellow – This level is best suited for participants who are comfortable entering the water and floating on front and back, but cannot yet swim extended distances (10+ft) and change direction in the water. Youth Blue – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions (10+ft) in the water, but cannot yet tread for extended periods (15+ sec). Youth Green – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions in the water, and can tread water for 15+ sec, but cannot yet swim basic freestyle stroke with rotary breathing for 25+ yds. This level includes our water competency (deep water) test. Additional Opportunities: Starfish Stroke School – This level is best suited for participants who have passed our water competency test (deep water test) and wish to continue working on stroke development and endurance for a variety of strokes. Waterbury Rapids Swim Team – This independent program runs from the opening of the pool until early August. Practices are Mon, Tue, Wed from 5:00-5:50 for 10 and under, and 6:00-7:15 for 11 and up. Meets are held on Thursdays. Participants must be able to independently swim 25 yds.

10:20 AM - 10:50 AM	Summer Swim Lessons Saturdays - Youth Green STARFISH AQUATICS SWIM LESSON CERTIFIED ORGANIZATION!The Town of Waterbury is now a proud provider of Starfish Swimming Lessons, a nationally certified swim instruction curriculum! Starfish Swimming curriculum is designed for students ages 6 months to adult and benchmarks are established at each stage of the program that include swimming AND safety skills. AGE 6 MONTHS – 3 YEARS OLD: StarBabies & Tots – The purpose of this course is to develop a high comfort level in the water with young children, and an accompanying adult. This course does not teach children to become accomplished swimmers or to survive in the water; it provides an entry-level confidence-building, fun, and supportive experience. AGE 3 – 5 YEARS OLD: Pre-K White/Red – Primary water skills in this level are submerging and floating on front and back. Pre-K Yellow/Blue – Primary water skills in this level are moving and changing direction in the water and treading water. Designed to meet the needs of children ages 3 – 5, the course will develop a high-comfort level in the water and a readiness to swim. For swimmers who are developmentally ready, it will teach functional swim skills. This class approaches teaching swimming through creative, fun water activities, while working towards developing core competencies while achieving benchmarks at their own pace in a small-group setting.  AGE 5 - 12 YEARS OLD: Youth Red – This level is best suited for participants who may or may not be comfortable submerging face and cannot yet float relaxed on the front and back without support. Youth Yellow – This level is best suited for participants who are comfortable entering the water and floating on front and back, but cannot yet swim extended distances (10+ft) and change direction in the water. Youth Blue – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions (10+ft) in the water, but cannot yet tread for extended periods (15+ sec). Youth Green – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions in the water, and can tread water for 15+ sec, but cannot yet swim basic freestyle stroke with rotary breathing for 25+ yds. This level includes our water competency (deep water) test. Additional Opportunities: Starfish Stroke School – This level is best suited for participants who have passed our water competency test (deep water test) and wish to continue working on stroke development and endurance for a variety of strokes. Waterbury Rapids Swim Team – This independent program runs from the opening of the pool until early August. Practices are Mon, Tue, Wed from 5:00-5:50 for 10 and under, and 6:00-7:15 for 11 and up. Meets are held on Thursdays. Participants must be able to independently swim 25 yds.

8:30 AM - 12:30 PM	Red Cross Lifeguard Course - Red Cross Lifeguarding Course Training to become a certified lifeguard is a rewarding and valuable experience. In this course, you will learn and practice essential skills. Lifeguard training is useful - not only to become certified and be able to work as a lifeguard, but also as an essential skill set in life. Lifeguard training includes several components, such as: Swim and rescue skills - the lifeguard trainee will learn swim and rescue skills, from the proper ways to enter the water in an emergency to safely retrieving someone from the bottom of the pool. Whether you are on the job or swimming with friends, lifeguard swim and rescue skills are important skills to possess. First Aid - during lifeguard training, you will learn to deal with wounds and illnesses, ranging from breaks and scrapes to strokes and seizures. Accidents and illnesses can happen anywhere, and your ability to deal with a medical emergency will assist you when at work as a lifeguard, as well as at home and play. CPR/AED - the lifeguard training program includes CPR and AED training, to assist the victim in a cardiac emergency. Cardiac emergencies are severe and life-threatening wherever and whenever they occur, so your lifeguard training will prepare you to potentially save lives - whether they are at the pool, home or work. This course is a blended learning course, so there are approximately six hours of online learning in addition to the in person hours listed. Participants must be 15 years old by the last day of class. There are prerequisite skills that must be completed on the first day of class. They are: --Complete a swim-tread-swim sequence without stopping. --Retrieve a 10 lb brick from a depth of 7-10 feet in a timed event.

Starfish Swimming curriculum is designed for students ages 6 months to adult and benchmarks are established at each stage of the program that include swimming AND safety skills. AGE 6 MONTHS – 3 YEARS OLD: StarBabies & Tots – The purpose of this course is to develop a high comfort level in the water with young children, and an accompanying adult. This course does not teach children to become accomplished swimmers or to survive in the water; it provides an entry-level confidence-building, fun, and supportive experience. AGE 3 – 5 YEARS OLD: Pre-K White/Red – Primary water skills in this level are submerging and floating on front and back. Pre-K Yellow/Blue – Primary water skills in this level are moving and changing direction in the water and treading water. Designed to meet the needs of children ages 3 – 5, the course will develop a high-comfort level in the water and a readiness to swim. For swimmers who are developmentally ready, it will teach functional swim skills.

This course does not teach children to become accomplished swimmers or to survive in the water; it provides an entry-level confidence-building, fun, and supportive experience. AGE 3 – 5 YEARS OLD: Pre-K White/Red – Primary water skills in this level are submerging and floating on front and back. Pre-K Yellow/Blue – Primary water skills in this level are moving and changing direction in the water and treading water. Designed to meet the needs of children ages 3 – 5, the course will develop a high-comfort level in the water and a readiness to swim. For swimmers who are developmentally ready, it will teach functional swim skills. This class approaches teaching swimming through creative, fun water activities, while working towards developing core competencies while achieving benchmarks at their own pace in a small-group setting.  AGE 5 - 12 YEARS OLD: Youth Red – This level is best suited for participants who may or may not be comfortable submerging face and cannot yet float relaxed on the front and back without support. Youth Yellow – This level is best suited for participants who are comfortable entering the water and floating on front and back, but cannot yet swim extended distances (10+ft) and change direction in the water. Youth Blue – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions (10+ft) in the water, but cannot yet tread for extended periods (15+ sec). Youth Green – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions in the water, and can tread water for 15+ sec, but cannot yet swim basic freestyle stroke with rotary breathing for 25+ yds. This level includes our water competency (deep water) test. Additional Opportunities: Starfish Stroke School – This level is best suited for participants who have passed our water competency test (deep water test) and wish to continue working on stroke development and endurance for a variety of strokes. Waterbury Rapids Swim Team – This independent program runs from the opening of the pool until early August. Practices are Mon, Tue, Wed from 5:00-5:50 for 10 and under, and 6:00-7:15 for 11 and up. Meets are held on Thursdays. Participants must be able to independently swim 25 yds.

8:30 AM - 12:30 PM	Red Cross Lifeguard Course - Red Cross Lifeguarding Course Training to become a certified lifeguard is a rewarding and valuable experience. In this course, you will learn and practice essential skills. Lifeguard training is useful - not only to become certified and be able to work as a lifeguard, but also as an essential skill set in life. Lifeguard training includes several components, such as: Swim and rescue skills - the lifeguard trainee will learn swim and rescue skills, from the proper ways to enter the water in an emergency to safely retrieving someone from the bottom of the pool. Whether you are on the job or swimming with friends, lifeguard swim and rescue skills are important skills to possess. First Aid - during lifeguard training, you will learn to deal with wounds and illnesses, ranging from breaks and scrapes to strokes and seizures. Accidents and illnesses can happen anywhere, and your ability to deal with a medical emergency will assist you when at work as a lifeguard, as well as at home and play. CPR/AED - the lifeguard training program includes CPR and AED training, to assist the victim in a cardiac emergency. Cardiac emergencies are severe and life-threatening wherever and whenever they occur, so your lifeguard training will prepare you to potentially save lives - whether they are at the pool, home or work. This course is a blended learning course, so there are approximately six hours of online learning in addition to the in person hours listed. Participants must be 15 years old by the last day of class. There are prerequisite skills that must be completed on the first day of class. They are: --Complete a swim-tread-swim sequence without stopping. --Retrieve a 10 lb brick from a depth of 7-10 feet in a timed event.

Starfish Swimming curriculum is designed for students ages 6 months to adult and benchmarks are established at each stage of the program that include swimming AND safety skills. AGE 6 MONTHS – 3 YEARS OLD: StarBabies & Tots – The purpose of this course is to develop a high comfort level in the water with young children, and an accompanying adult. This course does not teach children to become accomplished swimmers or to survive in the water; it provides an entry-level confidence-building, fun, and supportive experience. AGE 3 – 5 YEARS OLD: Pre-K White/Red – Primary water skills in this level are submerging and floating on front and back. Pre-K Yellow/Blue – Primary water skills in this level are moving and changing direction in the water and treading water. Designed to meet the needs of children ages 3 – 5, the course will develop a high-comfort level in the water and a readiness to swim. For swimmers who are developmentally ready, it will teach functional swim skills. This class approaches teaching swimming through creative, fun water activities, while working towards developing core competencies while achieving benchmarks at their own pace in a small-group setting.  AGE 5 - 12 YEARS OLD: Youth Red – This level is best suited for participants who may or may not be comfortable submerging face and cannot yet float relaxed on the front and back without support. Youth Yellow – This level is best suited for participants who are comfortable entering the water and floating on front and back, but cannot yet swim extended distances (10+ft) and change direction in the water. Youth Blue – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions (10+ft) in the water, but cannot yet tread for extended periods (15+ sec). Youth Green – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions in the water, and can tread water for 15+ sec, but cannot yet swim basic freestyle stroke with rotary breathing for 25+ yds. This level includes our water competency (deep water) test. Additional Opportunities: Starfish Stroke School – This level is best suited for participants who have passed our water competency test (deep water test) and wish to continue working on stroke development and endurance for a variety of strokes. Waterbury Rapids Swim Team – This independent program runs from the opening of the pool until early August. Practices are Mon, Tue, Wed from 5:00-5:50 for 10 and under, and 6:00-7:15 for 11 and up. Meets are held on Thursdays. Participants must be able to independently swim 25 yds.

6:30 PM - 7:00 PM	Summer Swim Lessons Session 2 7/7 - 7/18 - Youth Green STARFISH AQUATICS SWIM LESSON CERTIFIED ORGANIZATION!The Town of Waterbury is now a proud provider of Starfish Swimming Lessons, a nationally certified swim instruction curriculum! Starfish Swimming curriculum is designed for students ages 6 months to adult and benchmarks are established at each stage of the program that include swimming AND safety skills. AGE 6 MONTHS – 3 YEARS OLD: StarBabies & Tots – The purpose of this course is to develop a high comfort level in the water with young children, and an accompanying adult. This course does not teach children to become accomplished swimmers or to survive in the water; it provides an entry-level confidence-building, fun, and supportive experience. AGE 3 – 5 YEARS OLD: Pre-K White/Red – Primary water skills in this level are submerging and floating on front and back. Pre-K Yellow/Blue – Primary water skills in this level are moving and changing direction in the water and treading water. Designed to meet the needs of children ages 3 – 5, the course will develop a high-comfort level in the water and a readiness to swim. For swimmers who are developmentally ready, it will teach functional swim skills. This class approaches teaching swimming through creative, fun water activities, while working towards developing core competencies while achieving benchmarks at their own pace in a small-group setting.  AGE 5 - 12 YEARS OLD: Youth Red – This level is best suited for participants who may or may not be comfortable submerging face and cannot yet float relaxed on the front and back without support. Youth Yellow – This level is best suited for participants who are comfortable entering the water and floating on front and back, but cannot yet swim extended distances (10+ft) and change direction in the water. Youth Blue – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions (10+ft) in the water, but cannot yet tread for extended periods (15+ sec). Youth Green – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions in the water, and can tread water for 15+ sec, but cannot yet swim basic freestyle stroke with rotary breathing for 25+ yds. This level includes our water competency (deep water) test. Additional Opportunities: Starfish Stroke School – This level is best suited for participants who have passed our water competency test (deep water test) and wish to continue working on stroke development and endurance for a variety of strokes. Waterbury Rapids Swim Team – This independent program runs from the opening of the pool until early August. Practices are Mon, Tue, Wed from 5:00-5:50 for 10 and under, and 6:00-7:15 for 11 and up. Meets are held on Thursdays. Participants must be able to independently swim 25 yds.

Starfish Swimming curriculum is designed for students ages 6 months to adult and benchmarks are established at each stage of the program that include swimming AND safety skills. AGE 6 MONTHS – 3 YEARS OLD: StarBabies & Tots – The purpose of this course is to develop a high comfort level in the water with young children, and an accompanying adult. This course does not teach children to become accomplished swimmers or to survive in the water; it provides an entry-level confidence-building, fun, and supportive experience. AGE 3 – 5 YEARS OLD: Pre-K White/Red – Primary water skills in this level are submerging and floating on front and back. Pre-K Yellow/Blue – Primary water skills in this level are moving and changing direction in the water and treading water. Designed to meet the needs of children ages 3 – 5, the course will develop a high-comfort level in the water and a readiness to swim. For swimmers who are developmentally ready, it will teach functional swim skills. This class approaches teaching swimming through creative, fun water activities, while working towards developing core competencies while achieving benchmarks at their own pace in a small-group setting.  AGE 5 - 12 YEARS OLD: Youth Red – This level is best suited for participants who may or may not be comfortable submerging face and cannot yet float relaxed on the front and back without support. Youth Yellow – This level is best suited for participants who are comfortable entering the water and floating on front and back, but cannot yet swim extended distances (10+ft) and change direction in the water. Youth Blue – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions (10+ft) in the water, but cannot yet tread for extended periods (15+ sec). Youth Green – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions in the water, and can tread water for 15+ sec, but cannot yet swim basic freestyle stroke with rotary breathing for 25+ yds. This level includes our water competency (deep water) test. Additional Opportunities: Starfish Stroke School – This level is best suited for participants who have passed our water competency test (deep water test) and wish to continue working on stroke development and endurance for a variety of strokes. Waterbury Rapids Swim Team – This independent program runs from the opening of the pool until early August.

8:30 AM - 4:30 PM	Red Cross Lifeguard Course - Red Cross Lifeguarding Course Training to become a certified lifeguard is a rewarding and valuable experience. In this course, you will learn and practice essential skills. Lifeguard training is useful - not only to become certified and be able to work as a lifeguard, but also as an essential skill set in life. Lifeguard training includes several components, such as: Swim and rescue skills - the lifeguard trainee will learn swim and rescue skills, from the proper ways to enter the water in an emergency to safely retrieving someone from the bottom of the pool. Whether you are on the job or swimming with friends, lifeguard swim and rescue skills are important skills to possess. First Aid - during lifeguard training, you will learn to deal with wounds and illnesses, ranging from breaks and scrapes to strokes and seizures. Accidents and illnesses can happen anywhere, and your ability to deal with a medical emergency will assist you when at work as a lifeguard, as well as at home and play. CPR/AED - the lifeguard training program includes CPR and AED training, to assist the victim in a cardiac emergency. Cardiac emergencies are severe and life-threatening wherever and whenever they occur, so your lifeguard training will prepare you to potentially save lives - whether they are at the pool, home or work. This course is a blended learning course, so there are approximately six hours of online learning in addition to the in person hours listed. Participants must be 15 years old by the last day of class. There are prerequisite skills that must be completed on the first day of class. They are: --Complete a swim-tread-swim sequence without stopping. --Retrieve a 10 lb brick from a depth of 7-10 feet in a timed event.

Starfish Swimming curriculum is designed for students ages 6 months to adult and benchmarks are established at each stage of the program that include swimming AND safety skills. AGE 6 MONTHS – 3 YEARS OLD: StarBabies & Tots – The purpose of this course is to develop a high comfort level in the water with young children, and an accompanying adult. This course does not teach children to become accomplished swimmers or to survive in the water; it provides an entry-level confidence-building, fun, and supportive experience. AGE 3 – 5 YEARS OLD: Pre-K White/Red – Primary water skills in this level are submerging and floating on front and back. Pre-K Yellow/Blue – Primary water skills in this level are moving and changing direction in the water and treading water. Designed to meet the needs of children ages 3 – 5, the course will develop a high-comfort level in the water and a readiness to swim. For swimmers who are developmentally ready, it will teach functional swim skills. This class approaches teaching swimming through creative, fun water activities, while working towards developing core competencies while achieving benchmarks at their own pace in a small-group setting.  AGE 5 - 12 YEARS OLD: Youth Red – This level is best suited for participants who may or may not be comfortable submerging face and cannot yet float relaxed on the front and back without support. Youth Yellow – This level is best suited for participants who are comfortable entering the water and floating on front and back, but cannot yet swim extended distances (10+ft) and change direction in the water. Youth Blue – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions (10+ft) in the water, but cannot yet tread for extended periods (15+ sec). Youth Green – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions in the water, and can tread water for 15+ sec, but cannot yet swim basic freestyle stroke with rotary breathing for 25+ yds. This level includes our water competency (deep water) test. Additional Opportunities: Starfish Stroke School – This level is best suited for participants who have passed our water competency test (deep water test) and wish to continue working on stroke development and endurance for a variety of strokes. Waterbury Rapids Swim Team – This independent program runs from the opening of the pool until early August.

Starfish Swimming curriculum is designed for students ages 6 months to adult and benchmarks are established at each stage of the program that include swimming AND safety skills. AGE 6 MONTHS – 3 YEARS OLD: StarBabies & Tots – The purpose of this course is to develop a high comfort level in the water with young children, and an accompanying adult. This course does not teach children to become accomplished swimmers or to survive in the water; it provides an entry-level confidence-building, fun, and supportive experience. AGE 3 – 5 YEARS OLD: Pre-K White/Red – Primary water skills in this level are submerging and floating on front and back. Pre-K Yellow/Blue – Primary water skills in this level are moving and changing direction in the water and treading water. Designed to meet the needs of children ages 3 – 5, the course will develop a high-comfort level in the water and a readiness to swim. For swimmers who are developmentally ready, it will teach functional swim skills. This class approaches teaching swimming through creative, fun water activities, while working towards developing core competencies while achieving benchmarks at their own pace in a small-group setting.  AGE 5 - 12 YEARS OLD: Youth Red – This level is best suited for participants who may or may not be comfortable submerging face and cannot yet float relaxed on the front and back without support. Youth Yellow – This level is best suited for participants who are comfortable entering the water and floating on front and back, but cannot yet swim extended distances (10+ft) and change direction in the water. Youth Blue – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions (10+ft) in the water, but cannot yet tread for extended periods (15+ sec). Youth Green – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions in the water, and can tread water for 15+ sec, but cannot yet swim basic freestyle stroke with rotary breathing for 25+ yds. This level includes our water competency (deep water) test. Additional Opportunities: Starfish Stroke School – This level is best suited for participants who have passed our water competency test (deep water test) and wish to continue working on stroke development and endurance for a variety of strokes. Waterbury Rapids Swim Team – This independent program runs from the opening of the pool until early August. Practices are Mon, Tue, Wed from 5:00-5:50 for 10 and under, and 6:00-7:15 for 11 and up. Meets are held on Thursdays. Participants must be able to independently swim 25 yds.

Starfish Swimming curriculum is designed for students ages 6 months to adult and benchmarks are established at each stage of the program that include swimming AND safety skills. AGE 6 MONTHS – 3 YEARS OLD: StarBabies & Tots – The purpose of this course is to develop a high comfort level in the water with young children, and an accompanying adult. This course does not teach children to become accomplished swimmers or to survive in the water; it provides an entry-level confidence-building, fun, and supportive experience. AGE 3 – 5 YEARS OLD: Pre-K White/Red – Primary water skills in this level are submerging and floating on front and back. Pre-K Yellow/Blue – Primary water skills in this level are moving and changing direction in the water and treading water. Designed to meet the needs of children ages 3 – 5, the course will develop a high-comfort level in the water and a readiness to swim. For swimmers who are developmentally ready, it will teach functional swim skills. This class approaches teaching swimming through creative, fun water activities, while working towards developing core competencies while achieving benchmarks at their own pace in a small-group setting.  AGE 5 - 12 YEARS OLD: Youth Red – This level is best suited for participants who may or may not be comfortable submerging face and cannot yet float relaxed on the front and back without support. Youth Yellow – This level is best suited for participants who are comfortable entering the water and floating on front and back, but cannot yet swim extended distances (10+ft) and change direction in the water. Youth Blue – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions (10+ft) in the water, but cannot yet tread for extended periods (15+ sec). Youth Green – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions in the water, and can tread water for 15+ sec, but cannot yet swim basic freestyle stroke with rotary breathing for 25+ yds. This level includes our water competency (deep water) test. Additional Opportunities: Starfish Stroke School – This level is best suited for participants who have passed our water competency test (deep water test) and wish to continue working on stroke development and endurance for a variety of strokes. Waterbury Rapids Swim Team – This independent program runs from the opening of the pool until early August. Practices are Mon, Tue, Wed from 5:00-5:50 for 10 and under, and 6:00-7:15 for 11 and up. Meets are held on Thursdays. Participants must be able to independently swim 25 yds.

Starfish Swimming curriculum is designed for students ages 6 months to adult and benchmarks are established at each stage of the program that include swimming AND safety skills. AGE 6 MONTHS – 3 YEARS OLD: StarBabies & Tots – The purpose of this course is to develop a high comfort level in the water with young children, and an accompanying adult. This course does not teach children to become accomplished swimmers or to survive in the water; it provides an entry-level confidence-building, fun, and supportive experience. AGE 3 – 5 YEARS OLD: Pre-K White/Red – Primary water skills in this level are submerging and floating on front and back. Pre-K Yellow/Blue – Primary water skills in this level are moving and changing direction in the water and treading water. Designed to meet the needs of children ages 3 – 5, the course will develop a high-comfort level in the water and a readiness to swim. For swimmers who are developmentally ready, it will teach functional swim skills. This class approaches teaching swimming through creative, fun water activities, while working towards developing core competencies while achieving benchmarks at their own pace in a small-group setting.  AGE 5 - 12 YEARS OLD: Youth Red – This level is best suited for participants who may or may not be comfortable submerging face and cannot yet float relaxed on the front and back without support. Youth Yellow – This level is best suited for participants who are comfortable entering the water and floating on front and back, but cannot yet swim extended distances (10+ft) and change direction in the water. Youth Blue – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions (10+ft) in the water, but cannot yet tread for extended periods (15+ sec). Youth Green – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions in the water, and can tread water for 15+ sec, but cannot yet swim basic freestyle stroke with rotary breathing for 25+ yds. This level includes our water competency (deep water) test. Additional Opportunities: Starfish Stroke School – This level is best suited for participants who have passed our water competency test (deep water test) and wish to continue working on stroke development and endurance for a variety of strokes. Waterbury Rapids Swim Team – This independent program runs from the opening of the pool until early August. Practices are Mon, Tue, Wed from 5:00-5:50 for 10 and under, and 6:00-7:15 for 11 and up. Meets are held on Thursdays. Participants must be able to independently swim 25 yds.

Starfish Swimming curriculum is designed for students ages 6 months to adult and benchmarks are established at each stage of the program that include swimming AND safety skills. AGE 6 MONTHS – 3 YEARS OLD: StarBabies & Tots – The purpose of this course is to develop a high comfort level in the water with young children, and an accompanying adult. This course does not teach children to become accomplished swimmers or to survive in the water; it provides an entry-level confidence-building, fun, and supportive experience. AGE 3 – 5 YEARS OLD: Pre-K White/Red – Primary water skills in this level are submerging and floating on front and back. Pre-K Yellow/Blue – Primary water skills in this level are moving and changing direction in the water and treading water. Designed to meet the needs of children ages 3 – 5, the course will develop a high-comfort level in the water and a readiness to swim. For swimmers who are developmentally ready, it will teach functional swim skills. This class approaches teaching swimming through creative, fun water activities, while working towards developing core competencies while achieving benchmarks at their own pace in a small-group setting.  AGE 5 - 12 YEARS OLD: Youth Red – This level is best suited for participants who may or may not be comfortable submerging face and cannot yet float relaxed on the front and back without support. Youth Yellow – This level is best suited for participants who are comfortable entering the water and floating on front and back, but cannot yet swim extended distances (10+ft) and change direction in the water. Youth Blue – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions (10+ft) in the water, but cannot yet tread for extended periods (15+ sec). Youth Green – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions in the water, and can tread water for 15+ sec, but cannot yet swim basic freestyle stroke with rotary breathing for 25+ yds. This level includes our water competency (deep water) test. Additional Opportunities: Starfish Stroke School – This level is best suited for participants who have passed our water competency test (deep water test) and wish to continue working on stroke development and endurance for a variety of strokes. Waterbury Rapids Swim Team – This independent program runs from the opening of the pool until early August. Practices are Mon, Tue, Wed from 5:00-5:50 for 10 and under, and 6:00-7:15 for 11 and up. Meets are held on Thursdays. Participants must be able to independently swim 25 yds.

Starfish Swimming curriculum is designed for students ages 6 months to adult and benchmarks are established at each stage of the program that include swimming AND safety skills. AGE 6 MONTHS – 3 YEARS OLD: StarBabies & Tots – The purpose of this course is to develop a high comfort level in the water with young children, and an accompanying adult. This course does not teach children to become accomplished swimmers or to survive in the water; it provides an entry-level confidence-building, fun, and supportive experience. AGE 3 – 5 YEARS OLD: Pre-K White/Red – Primary water skills in this level are submerging and floating on front and back. Pre-K Yellow/Blue – Primary water skills in this level are moving and changing direction in the water and treading water. Designed to meet the needs of children ages 3 – 5, the course will develop a high-comfort level in the water and a readiness to swim. For swimmers who are developmentally ready, it will teach functional swim skills. This class approaches teaching swimming through creative, fun water activities, while working towards developing core competencies while achieving benchmarks at their own pace in a small-group setting.  AGE 5 - 12 YEARS OLD: Youth Red – This level is best suited for participants who may or may not be comfortable submerging face and cannot yet float relaxed on the front and back without support. Youth Yellow – This level is best suited for participants who are comfortable entering the water and floating on front and back, but cannot yet swim extended distances (10+ft) and change direction in the water. Youth Blue – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions (10+ft) in the water, but cannot yet tread for extended periods (15+ sec). Youth Green – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions in the water, and can tread water for 15+ sec, but cannot yet swim basic freestyle stroke with rotary breathing for 25+ yds. This level includes our water competency (deep water) test. Additional Opportunities: Starfish Stroke School – This level is best suited for participants who have passed our water competency test (deep water test) and wish to continue working on stroke development and endurance for a variety of strokes. Waterbury Rapids Swim Team – This independent program runs from the opening of the pool until early August. Practices are Mon, Tue, Wed from 5:00-5:50 for 10 and under, and 6:00-7:15 for 11 and up. Meets are held on Thursdays. Participants must be able to independently swim 25 yds.

10:20 AM - 10:50 AM	Summer Swim Lessons Saturdays - Youth Green STARFISH AQUATICS SWIM LESSON CERTIFIED ORGANIZATION!The Town of Waterbury is now a proud provider of Starfish Swimming Lessons, a nationally certified swim instruction curriculum! Starfish Swimming curriculum is designed for students ages 6 months to adult and benchmarks are established at each stage of the program that include swimming AND safety skills. AGE 6 MONTHS – 3 YEARS OLD: StarBabies & Tots – The purpose of this course is to develop a high comfort level in the water with young children, and an accompanying adult. This course does not teach children to become accomplished swimmers or to survive in the water; it provides an entry-level confidence-building, fun, and supportive experience. AGE 3 – 5 YEARS OLD: Pre-K White/Red – Primary water skills in this level are submerging and floating on front and back. Pre-K Yellow/Blue – Primary water skills in this level are moving and changing direction in the water and treading water. Designed to meet the needs of children ages 3 – 5, the course will develop a high-comfort level in the water and a readiness to swim. For swimmers who are developmentally ready, it will teach functional swim skills. This class approaches teaching swimming through creative, fun water activities, while working towards developing core competencies while achieving benchmarks at their own pace in a small-group setting.  AGE 5 - 12 YEARS OLD: Youth Red – This level is best suited for participants who may or may not be comfortable submerging face and cannot yet float relaxed on the front and back without support. Youth Yellow – This level is best suited for participants who are comfortable entering the water and floating on front and back, but cannot yet swim extended distances (10+ft) and change direction in the water. Youth Blue – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions (10+ft) in the water, but cannot yet tread for extended periods (15+ sec). Youth Green – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions in the water, and can tread water for 15+ sec, but cannot yet swim basic freestyle stroke with rotary breathing for 25+ yds. This level includes our water competency (deep water) test. Additional Opportunities: Starfish Stroke School – This level is best suited for participants who have passed our water competency test (deep water test) and wish to continue working on stroke development and endurance for a variety of strokes. Waterbury Rapids Swim Team – This independent program runs from the opening of the pool until early August. Practices are Mon, Tue, Wed from 5:00-5:50 for 10 and under, and 6:00-7:15 for 11 and up. Meets are held on Thursdays. Participants must be able to independently swim 25 yds.

9:00 AM - 9:30 AM	Summer Swim Lessons Session 3 7/21 - 8/1 - Youth Blue STARFISH AQUATICS SWIM LESSON CERTIFIED ORGANIZATION!The Town of Waterbury is now a proud provider of Starfish Swimming Lessons, a nationally certified swim instruction curriculum! Starfish Swimming curriculum is designed for students ages 6 months to adult and benchmarks are established at each stage of the program that include swimming AND safety skills. AGE 6 MONTHS – 3 YEARS OLD: StarBabies & Tots – The purpose of this course is to develop a high comfort level in the water with young children, and an accompanying adult. This course does not teach children to become accomplished swimmers or to survive in the water; it provides an entry-level confidence-building, fun, and supportive experience. AGE 3 – 5 YEARS OLD: Pre-K White/Red – Primary water skills in this level are submerging and floating on front and back. Pre-K Yellow/Blue – Primary water skills in this level are moving and changing direction in the water and treading water. Designed to meet the needs of children ages 3 – 5, the course will develop a high-comfort level in the water and a readiness to swim. For swimmers who are developmentally ready, it will teach functional swim skills. This class approaches teaching swimming through creative, fun water activities, while working towards developing core competencies while achieving benchmarks at their own pace in a small-group setting.  AGE 5 - 12 YEARS OLD: Youth Red – This level is best suited for participants who may or may not be comfortable submerging face and cannot yet float relaxed on the front and back without support. Youth Yellow – This level is best suited for participants who are comfortable entering the water and floating on front and back, but cannot yet swim extended distances (10+ft) and change direction in the water. Youth Blue – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions (10+ft) in the water, but cannot yet tread for extended periods (15+ sec). Youth Green – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions in the water, and can tread water for 15+ sec, but cannot yet swim basic freestyle stroke with rotary breathing for 25+ yds. This level includes our water competency (deep water) test. Additional Opportunities: Starfish Stroke School – This level is best suited for participants who have passed our water competency test (deep water test) and wish to continue working on stroke development and endurance for a variety of strokes. Waterbury Rapids Swim Team – This independent program runs from the opening of the pool until early August. Practices are Mon, Tue, Wed from 5:00-5:50 for 10 and under, and 6:00-7:15 for 11 and up. Meets are held on Thursdays. Participants must be able to independently swim 25 yds.

This course does not teach children to become accomplished swimmers or to survive in the water; it provides an entry-level confidence-building, fun, and supportive experience. AGE 3 – 5 YEARS OLD: Pre-K White/Red – Primary water skills in this level are submerging and floating on front and back. Pre-K Yellow/Blue – Primary water skills in this level are moving and changing direction in the water and treading water. Designed to meet the needs of children ages 3 – 5, the course will develop a high-comfort level in the water and a readiness to swim. For swimmers who are developmentally ready, it will teach functional swim skills. This class approaches teaching swimming through creative, fun water activities, while working towards developing core competencies while achieving benchmarks at their own pace in a small-group setting.  AGE 5 - 12 YEARS OLD: Youth Red – This level is best suited for participants who may or may not be comfortable submerging face and cannot yet float relaxed on the front and back without support. Youth Yellow – This level is best suited for participants who are comfortable entering the water and floating on front and back, but cannot yet swim extended distances (10+ft) and change direction in the water. Youth Blue – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions (10+ft) in the water, but cannot yet tread for extended periods (15+ sec). Youth Green – This level is best suited for participants who can comfortably swim and change directions in the water, and can tread water for 15+ sec, but cannot yet swim basic freestyle stroke with rotary breathing for 25+ yds. This level includes our water competency (deep water) test. Additional Opportunities: Starfish Stroke School – This level is best suited for participants who have passed our water competency test (deep water test) and wish to continue working on stroke development and endurance for a variety of strokes. Waterbury Rapids Swim Team – This independent program runs from the opening of the pool until early August. Practices are Mon, Tue, Wed from 5:00-5:50 for 10 and under, and 6:00-7:15 for 11 and up. Meets are held on Thursdays. Participants must be able to independently swim 25 yds.
