               Swim Lessons from 6 months to 6 years   

Water Babies

This class is the first level of parent/tot classes and is designed to introduce your child to the basics of water adjustment and safety.  At this level, your child is not learning “how-to-swim”, but is being introduced basic skills such as entering the water, supports, bubble blowing, kicking and water play.

 

Water Tots

This next level of parent/tot caters to the older toddler who may need slightly higher skills such as floats, glides and bobbing.  This class is also ideal for children “almost three” to prepare for the preschool lessons below.

 

Polliwogs

This class is designed as a child’s first introduction to a structured class without a parent in the water.  Your child will develop basic skills such as blowing bubbles, getting their face wet, holding their breath and walking on the pool bottom.

 

Guppies

New skills such as bobbing, floats, glides, jumping into the water, as well as an introduction to front crawl will be introduced at this level.

 

Seahorse

This class focuses on front and back crawl skills as well as building endurance which will help in their swimming progression.

 

Jellyfish

Children in this class will begin to develop more advanced  front & back crawl skills, deep water adjustment, endurance and basic water safety skills.

 

 

Sailfish

 Children at this level will be comfortable in the deep water.  This class is designed to refine their front & back crawl, as well as introduce elementary backstroke.
