Fall - What Level am I In?

This November and December Charke Swim is offering a few new courses and here some some answers to what level you should be registering in.

Level 3 - You should be able to swim 10 meters to enter this level. This requires learning how to roll to the side and breath.

Level 6 - You should be able to swim 50 meters and treat water for 1 minute. You should be able to swim Front and Back Crawl and have the basics for Breast Stroke. Swim Basics 1 (Adult/Teen) - You should be 13+ years old and a beginner at swimming. This class is taught in shallow water. Swim Basics 2 (Adult/Teen) - You should be 13+ years old and be able to swim in deep water. This class focuses on stroke improvement, distance, diving, treading and other deep water activities. Pre-Teen - This is a new class for 7-12 year olds who are beginners and need to learn levels 1, 2 and 3. This is a catch up course for people who were not able to swim during covid.

Where can I get evaluated? The lifeguards at Beban Park Pool and the Nanaimo Aquatic Centre can evaluate your level during public swim. This is good because if you are in a level outside of what Charke Swim currently offers, you can ask them about signing up for city lessons.
