Additionally, native plants, including trees, shrubs, groundcover & grasses, can provide suitable habitat to attract butterflies, birds and other wild-life. Fee is per person. Class fee is non-refundable.

stories in the skyAges 6 & up and their parent(s)/guardian(s). In the days before tele-vision and video games, before city lights obscured most of the stars, el-ders would tell stories of the constella-tions to their young. These stories not only entertained but taught them valu-able lessons such as how to tell time, when a new season was approaching, and even how to find their way home at night. This practice has waned in a world with clocks, calendars, and GPS systems. Join us as we explore this time honored tradition of passing down lore filled with romance, monsters, mo-rality and how to find your place in the world.

are we alone in the Universe?Ages 6 & up and their parent(s)/guardian(s). How life began, and wheth-er it exists elsewhere remains one of the most fascinating questions in all of science. In the vastness of space far beyond our own solar system we can rule out nothing. Astronomers have dis-covered, just within the past few years, that many stars have their own planets and that there are millions of other solar systems. Could some of these planets, orbiting other stars, harbor life-forms? Could there be any planets resembling Earth? Join us as we discuss this topic. As pointed out by Sir Martin Rees, As-tronomer Royal, ‘absence of evidence wouldn’t be evidence of absence.’ The Planetarium is on the 2nd floor of Ham-ilton High School, enter via rear parking lot, door #5.

guidelines from the american red Cross. Please read to choose the appropriate swim level for your child(ren).

Level requirements Course descriptionThe infant program introduces the child to water in a friendly environment. The program’s focus is exploration and includes songs and games. Parents will gain tips in water safety for their infants.

Lil’ Squirts swim lessons acquaint the child with water through a combination of songs, games and basic water skills such as kicking and floating. Water safety prac-tices will also be included.

Tiny-tots build elementary aquatic skills including independent floating, breath control and rudimentary paddling techniques. Safety skills include “breaking” the over-confident toddler to allow your child to realize what it takes to swim independently in water.

Participants are introduced to elementary swimming skills such as kicking in a variety of ways, floating, and rhythmic breathing. This course serves as an appropriate transition to Level One. Parents will elaborate on safety skills, including swimming with their tot in tow.

In the LITTLE Level 1/2 classes, the same elementary aquatic skills from Level One/Two are taught (see descriptions below.) In addition to meeting minimum 42” height requirement, your youngster should be able to be in class without you for the 45 minute class period. Instructors will advise promotion options based on age & skill.

In Level 1, elementary aquatic skills are taught, which children will build on as they progress through the six Learn-to-Swim levels. In addition to rhythmic breathing and floating, skills include various kicks and arm strokes. At this level, children also start to develop positive attitudes and safe practices around the water. The objective of Level 2 is to give children success with fundamental skills. Children learn: floating without support and recovering to a vertical position, exploring simultaneous and alternating arm and leg motion to lay the foundations for future strokes. An introduction to deep water is included in this course.

Level 3 builds on the skills learned in Level 2 by providing additional guided practice. Children learn: coordinating the front crawl, elementary backstroke, fundamentals of treading water, rules for head first entries and additional safety skills. Most importantly, children who successfully complete this course will be ready to swim in deep water.

The objective of Level 4 is to develop confidence in the strokes learned thus far and to improve other aquatic skills. Children learn: improved skills and increased endurance in the familiar strokes (front/back crawl), and are introduced to the elementary backstroke, breaststroke, sidestroke, and butterfly.

The objective of Level 5 is to coordinate the strokes that were introduced in 5. Students will put together the mechanics for elementary backstroke, breast-stroke, sidestroke and butterfly. Underwater swimming & surface dives will also be included.

Level 6 refines all 6 strokes. Children learn: advanced techniques in all strokes (front/back crawl, butterfly, breaststroke, elementary backstroke, sidestroke) and will increase their distance endurance. Flip turns at the wall and improved diving skills will provide the student with the essentials to pursue swimming as a sport.

The objective of Level 7 is to fine-tune swimming strokes to allow students to swim with efficiency and power. Four distinct Level 7 modules allow swimmers to broaden their aquatics skills into 4 different areas. Module options include: Personal Water Safety (7PWS), Fundamentals of Diving (7D), Fitness Swimmer (7FS), and Lifeguard Readiness (7LR). Please check the listing to determine which modules are offered this season.
