Out of all activities at Campus
Kids-New Jersey, one activity is required. |
|
That activity is instructional
swim! |
Prior to entering the pool,
campers change into their bathing suits and take a shower. |
|
|
|
The seemingly quiet pool will
soon be filled with happy campers eager to learn something new! |
|
As campers emerge from the
locker room, some counselors like to test the waters! |
|
|
Swim instruction here is taught in
accordance to the standard's of the American Red Cross. Each camper is
tested at the beginning of each session, and is then placed in a swim
group based on his/her swimming abilities. The goal here is that campers
will receive the necessary swim instruction to further improve their
swimming skills. |
|
|
The counselors are a vital
part to swim instruction. |
|
They teach campers how to do
many things including... |
freestyle... |
|
backstroke... |
|
|
|
breaststroke... |
|
diving... |
|
|
|
and treading water! |
|
Kickboards and flippers are used
sometimes to help campers master a certain stroke. |
|
|
Swim Instruction cannot be
possible without life guards! |
|
|
|
When swim instruction is over
the whistle is blown... |
|
and campers get out of the pool,
smiling because of the great time they had! |
