      • Level A. Non Swimmer
      • Level B. Ability to place head underwater
      • Level C. Front float, back float, and kicking
      • Level D. Front crawl with breathing
      • Level E. Advanced competitive skill beyond D

• Iowa State University requires that all Cyclone Swim School participants have a signed release form in our possession prior to any enrollee’s participation. You must bring this form to the check-in on the first day of the first session you participate in. This release will cover all classes from May 1, 2010 through April 30, 2011. *Please note that a copy of participant’s school physical form may serve as the physician’s authorization if valid within one year of the starting date of SwimAmerica and submitted along with our Medical Release Form. NO SWIMMER WILL BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE WITHOUT THIS FORM. A parent or guardian must sign the release and the treatment authorization form if the participant is under 18 years of age. Students who are 18 years old or will become 18 years old before the end of a session must also sign. In order for students to participate in any lesson, we must have this form prior to participation. You may reference this downloadable form at Required Release Form tab on our home page.

  • This number appears on the mailing label you received with your registration announcement post card.

• Graduate Levels 11-13: For SwimAmerica level 10 graduates we offer our “medal series” of lessons. To qualify for this level, a child must have completed our SwimAmerica level 10. The “medal series” of levels 11 through 13 offer challenges in three additional levels that are more pre-competitive in nature with an emphasis on conditioning. Our reward system for new level attainment is a bronze medal for level 11, silver for level 12 and gold for level 13. Each participant in our graduate level class will receive a participation medal. Graduates may test/advance only one level per session.
