I teach swimming from a place of recognition of floatation and propulsion.
The physics of swimming is very important to me and sets a bar of equalization for all. Given the correct understanding of use of one's body, everyone can swim efficiently and with great ease. 

Below are the curriculum levels I created for simplicity of learning and teaching the above.

The Swim with Annie Curriculum Levels

BEGINNER

For those who are new to learning to swim.

PADDLER

For those who are confident with the feeling of floatation with a swim noodle/life-jacket or Puddle Jumper, where their feet cannot touch the ground. Does not usually like to put their face in, get their face wet or do more than duck underwater. ​

UNDERWATER EASE

For those who truly enjoy being underwater. Are outright fascinated by it and find the exploration of being there intriguing. Has not yet mastered coming up for air.

SWIMMER​

For those who fit the description of Underwater Ease but also have mastered coming up for air, without standing up, and can re-enter the water with their face, comfortably in. Can do so for about 10-15 yards, solo. Should also be capable of a solo back float and plausibly a brief back swim with legs only.

STROKES

For those who fit the description of Swimmer and can also easily, comfortably and confidently travel 25 yards, with zero assistance from an instructor or a wall or standing up. Within this class all four Strokes will be taught. Should also be able to travel 25 yards on back with use of legs.

EFFICIENCY

For those who fit the description of Strokes & can easily, comfortably and confidently travel 100 yards. Should have some familiarity with all four strokes. Should confidently be able to swim on back using legs for 50 yards.
