Parent/Child Classes:

          Water Wigglers (6-12m) Class Summary: Focuses on early water comfort and safety through playful activities like using a cup to gently wet the face, supported front and back floats, and shoulder submersion. Introduces safety cues and covers key topics like hypothermia, life jackets, and bathroom breaks to build awareness for both children and caregivers.


          Aqua Explorers (13-24m) Summary:
Aqua Explorers builds water confidence through assisted activities like front and back floats, kicking, jumping in, and exiting the pool. Skills also include submerging with a parent, retrieving objects, holding the pool edge, and floating with instructor support — all designed to encourage comfort, coordination, and early independence in the water. 


           Guppy Graduates (2-4yrs) Summary:
Guppy Graduates focus on water entry techniques, submerging with face in the water, and mastering basic floats. Skills include assisted front and back floats, scissor kicks, kicking on a board, rolling from front to back float, and pushing off the wall. The session also introduces pancake hands while sitting on the ledge, helping build confidence and foundational swimming skills.


Levels:

          Level 1 Summary:
Level 1 swimmers focus on developing independence in the water with skills like full-body bobs with bubbles, using barbell and pencil arms, and practicing front and back floats with varying levels of support. It also includes reaching and retrieving objects underwater, kicking with pencil arms, and mastering streamline positions both on the front and back with light assistance.


          Level 2 Summary:
Level 2 swimmers focus on improving freestyle with 5-10 yards of swimming, using a barbell for support with combined arm and leg motions. They practice front floats with their face in the water, back floats, and retrieving objects from the shallow end. Kicking with a kick board for up to 15 yards is included, along with an introduction to freestyle breathing (rotary breathing) and streamline positions on both front and back. The session also introduces the basics of backstroke.


          Level 3 Summary:
Level 3 swimmers focus on refining freestyle with 10-15 yards of swimming using rotary breathing. They are introduced to the dolphin kick, treading water, and back floating for 1 minute. Swimmers also practice retrieving objects from the bottom of a 5-7ft pool, perform a kick board breathing drill for 15-20 yards, and progress through diving techniques (seated, kneeling, and standing). The session includes an introduction to the diving board and 10-15 yards of backstroke.

            
           Level 4 Summary:
Level 4 swimmers focus on 5-10 yards of side stroke, streamline for 3-5 body lengths with a dolphin kick, and treading water for 1-2 minutes. They continue to develop breaststroke and butterfly skills, with an introduction to open and flip turns. Swimmers are also introduced to using fins, pull buoys, paddles, and diving blocks to enhance their technique and performance.


           Level 5 Summary:
Level 5 swimmers focus on swimming 25 yards of freestyle with rotary breathing and backstroke. They work on treading water without arms for 1 minute, while continuing to develop breaststroke and butterfly skills.
