The goal of Ranney's aquatics program is to help each student achieve full potential as a swimmer. With a 25-meter, indoor/outdoor heated pool, aquatics instruction figures prominently in our physical education curriculum.
In the Lower School, the focus is on swimming and water safety, and children learn at their own pace. In grades 2-5, the yearlong course in aquatics continues to teach water safety skills and proper form in basic strokes, while introducing more advanced techniques and diving.
Aquatics instruction in the Middle School increases the swimmer's endurance through further refinement of skills in the front crawl, backstroke, breaststroke and sidestroke. Swimmers also learn basic rescue and water safety skills. Middle School students may continue their aquatics instruction after school with the interscholastic coed swim team.
In the Upper School , swimming is primarily competitive, and Ranney's coed swim team competes against schools throughout the state. Ranney's exceptional aquatics facility, with its Colorado Timing System and other amenities, makes it a favored venue for interscholastic meets.
