This is a great class for 3-5.5 years old to get acclimated in the water… AND we also teach them to swim on their front and back. In these 5 classes, 25 minutes each, many kids float for a few feet, some float a few yards, and all gain lots of confidence. Some of these classes are offered as separate genders, while some are mixed. 

For beginners, who do not float on front AND back yet. If your child does one, but not both, he/she still needs Level 1. Our goal is to get your child to float on front and back for 10 seconds. Some kids will master Level 1 in the 3rd or 4th class, and continue right into level 2. Be surprised…some kids pass both Level 1 and 2 in the 6 classes!

For kids who can float & swim on front and back for ten seconds. We’ll learn to come up to breathe and swim further, learn 2 different back strokes and refine the front stroke. Most clients swim more than 1/3 the width of the pool when completing Level 2. This level is often combined with Level 3 as the skills are similar.

For kids who can float & swim, front and back, for approximately ¾ across the width of the pool, has already learnt one or 2 different backstrokes (monkey-airplane-soldier) and is getting ready to pass the deep-water test. We’ll learn how to come up for air, learn rhythmic breathing well, learn to tread water, and attempt to pass the deep-water test. Note: This is a harder level to pass.

For deep water swimmers; we’ll refine each stroke and add new strokes and dives, and work on endurance (building up strength and swimming for longer amounts of time.
