Parent & Child Together
(6 months - 3 years of age)
Goldfish: This class is for water adjustment in a relaxed atmosphere. Safety skills are the main objective, but we also work on breath control and introduce basic swimming skills. A responsible adult accompanies the child in this class.
Early Years
(3 years - 7 years of age)
Sea Pony : This class consists of getting comfortable with getting wet from head to toe, paddling with bubbles, and dangling on floating barbells.
Sea Horse: Now you swim up and down the pool on your very own, with bubbles and barbells. There is more jumping in, going under the water and beginning to swim alone for the first time.
Tadpole: The first stroke development starts here. Swimming alone for 15 yards is the goal. No bubbles.
Frog: You have now made 15 yards! Let's try for 25 yards (one length of the pool). Endurance, more time spent under water, strokes on your back and safety are the top priorities. 
Starfish: Crawl with rhythmic breathing, elementary backstroke, back crawl and endurance are stressed in this class.
Superstar: Sidestroke, breaststroke, improved crawl, back crawl and elementary are covered, as well as distance swimming.
Junior
(7+ years of age)
Beginner: After mastering water adjustment, breath control and rhythmic breathing, front and back crawl are introduced.
Advanced Beginner: This class works to build endurance with the front crawl and back crawl. Elementary backstroke and safety skills are also introduced.
Intermediate: This class introduces the sidestroke, breaststroke, freestyle and distance swimming.
Swimmer: This course works to build stamina in freestyle, breaststroke and back crawl. Butterfly drills are introduced and shallow forward dives are taught. Swim Coach Ryan O’Leary runs the program.
Sharks: Improve stroke technique, speed and meet strategy while having fun with other swimmers interested in competitive swimming. Swimmers train for 45 minutes every Thursday, and there are two times set aside, one for ages 6-9 year olds, and one for ages 10-17 year olds.  Swim Teams
"In Sync": The Suburban Synchronized Swim Team begins January 8th and meets every Wednesday from 5:00-5:45pm. Students (ages 7 to 15) learn how to choreograph swim routines to music and work as a non-competitive team. This is a great way to improve stroke technique and stamina while having fun. The Team completes the season with a show on May 21, 2003.
Scuba Rangers: Scuba Rangers is an elite club exclusive to Suburban Athletic Club and East Coast Divers. It is now offered Tuesdays from 4:00-5:45pm. Participants in the Scuba Rangers program learn to swim with scuba equipment and become members of an active international club. Class size is limited to six. Participants must be 8-12 years of age, and provide their own mask, fins and snorkel. All additional equipment is provided.
