Parent and Tot - Ages 6 months to 3 years
This class is designed for parent-child interaction and focuses on acquainting a child with the water through play and song. Emphasis is placed on teaching parents techniques to stimulate development of their child's fundamental introductory skills such as bubble blowing, floating, kicking and beginning arm motions. Additionally, emphasis is also placed on overall comfortability in the water.
Swim diapers are required for participants who are not potty-trained.
Seahorse (Preschool Aquatics 1 & 2) - Ages 3 to 5 years
This class is a combination of preschool aquatics levels 1 and 2 and is a transition between our Parent and Tot class and our Learn to Swim program. Participants will develop safe water practices and confidence in and around the water. Participants will work on bubble blowing, floating, kicking and the ability to retrieve a submerged object. All skills are practiced with the support of an instructor.
Upon successful completion of Seahorse participants are eligible to enter Seadragon or Guppy depending on their age.
Seadragon (Preschool Aquatics 3) - Ages 3 to 5 years
Before entering this level, children must feel comfortable submerging their face underwater as well as floating on their stomach and back with the help of an instructor. In this level, participants will build on skills learned in Seahorse with an emphasis on independence and coordination of arm and leg movements to develop water competency.
Guppy (Level 1 Water Exploration) - Ages 5 years and up
This introductory level is the first level in our Learn-to Swim program. Instructors focus on building students' comfort and independence in the water. Skills taught include: bubble blowing, retrieving submerged objects, front and back glides, front and back kicks, and front and back floats.
All skills are practiced with the support of an instructor.
Polliwog (Level 2: Fundamental Aquatic Skills) - Ages 5 years and up
Before entering this level, children must feel comfortable submerging their face underwater as well as floating on their stomach and back with the help of an instructor. Students will learn to perform skills independently such as recovering to a standing position from a float position, glides, front and back arm motions, front and back flutter kicks and an introduction to rhythmic breathing.
Minnow (Level 3: Stroke Development)
To enter this level participants must be capable of independently floating and swimming 5 body lengths on their front and back with arm and leg coordination. Instructors will mainly focus on front crawl with side breathing, elementary backstroke, dolphin kick and scissor kick. Additional skills that will be introduced will include treading water and diving in water 9'-13' deep.
Fish (Level 4: Stroke Improvement)
To enter this level participants must be able to swim a minimum of 15 yards of the pool with coordinated front crawl and elementary backstroke. Skills that will be taught include back crawl, breast stroke, side stroke and butterfly. Continued refinement of front crawl and elementary backstroke will also be emphasized. New skills that will be introduced include head first entries and open turns.
Tigershark (Level 5/6 - Stroke Refinement and Fitness)
Barracuda and Tiger Shark are a combined course that will still implement and focus on the core characteristics of each level while continuing to improve overall endurance and fitness.
This class is taught entirely in deep water ranging from 6'-13'. Participants must be able to complete 25-50 yards of both front crawl and elementary backstroke without stopping. Students will work on refining breaststroke, butterfly and sidestroke as well as learn to read a pace clock and using flip turns while swimming. New skills will include shallow angle dives and surface dives. Upon completion of this course participants will be ready for other aquatic programs such as the Marlin Swim Team.
Adult Beginning: Learning the Basics Ages 14 and Up
This course is designed to help participants develop basic aquatic skills and learn key swim strokes, including front crawl, breaststroke and elementary backstroke. Our goal is to help participants feel comfortable in the water while building confidence and improving swimming abilities.
