Each possesses unique skills and experiences, as well as an attitude of encouragement and support, that is necessary to teach swimming lessons to children and adults of all ages 6 months and older. We will take the time and make the commitment to teach persons of all ages on how to swim safely and efficiently. We have 6 levels of courses in varying skills and difficulty:
- Tadpoles (ages 6 months-2 years):
Infant classes are designed to familiarize the child with the water and develop basic swimming skills. *Parents must accompany their child in the water.* - Minnows (ages 2-4 years):
Swimmers will be comfortably oriented to the water and taught basic pool safety along with basic swimming skills including blowing bubbles, assisted floating, kicking and gliding. - Sea Horses (ages 4 and up):
Swimmers will learn to independent floatation, gliding and kicking. They will also learn underwater retrieval of objects, front and back crawl, front and back roll, and jumping in water and leveling. - Dolphins (ages 5 and up):
Swimmers will learn to tread water, glide on their front and back for 10 yards, elementary backstroke, along with kneeling and compact dives. - Sting Rays (ages 5 and up):
Swimmers will further develop the skills previously learned and will increase endurance by swimming freestyle and backstroke for 25 yards, elementary backstroke fro 10 yards, and tread water for 2 minutes. They will also learn side breathing, breaststroke, and standing dive. - Sharks (ages 5 and up):
