This level reinforces Pike skills. It is for children who are comfortable in the water. They are taught to kick, dive, float, and perform the progressive paddle stroke. They also learn basic boating safety and use of PFD's. Children can swim across the pool without assistance by the end of this level.

Lessons meet once a week for 6 weeks, the seventh week is a gap week between sessions that can be used as a make-up date for any classes canceled by the YMCA.
