Exercise and Sport Studies 901ab - Topics in Aquatic Activities-Advanced Beginning/ Intermediate Swimming

The course will focus on the improvement of swimming skills. Performance goals include being able to swim Freestyle, Backstroke and Breaststroke and the turns associated with those strokes at a level that surpasses initial performance by the end of the semester. All students are assessed at the beginning and end of the end of the semester. Although this is not a conditioning class the intermediate level student will receive the same stroke technique instruction with an emphasis on a greater volume of swimming which will prepare the student for the next level which is swim conditioning. The pool will be divided to serve the differing levels. Prerequisite: ability to swim at least one length of the pool.
