Aqua Lion Swim Lessons

This is our entry level group where basic fundamentals are taught. This is a "move at your own pace" learn to swim program.  Swimmers keep track of their progress by earning stickers that they place on their certificate.  This program teaches levels "A" thru 7.  At the end of level 6 the student will be able to swim freestyle as well as backstroke.  Athletes that are level 7 or higher can complete all 10 levels in the "Pre Comp" group.  An athlete need not be able to swim to enter this group.

Pre-Comp

In this group, swimmers complete the Aqua Lion Swim Lesson levels 7 thru 10.  Swimmers will learn all 4 competitive groups in a training enviroment.  Swimmers will also have the oppurtunity to compete in novice swim meets.  This is a great oppurtunity for the athlete to finish the program and get a preview of what the Cottage Grove Aqua Lions are all about.
