​Swimmer Levels:
  • Pre-Beginner – this class focuses on water exposure and acclimation, encouraging children to enjoy themselves while learning about water safety. The child is not yet able to go underwater voluntarily. Swimmers will practice kicking, moving with their chin in the water, and how to enter and exit the water. To graduate, they can lay flat on their back, blow consistent bubbles on the surface of the water, and comfortably go underwater.
  • Beginner – this class focuses on water acclimation movement.  Swimmers will practice floating on back and front, kicking independently, and self-rescue skills such as treading water and jumping in. To graduate, they can float face down, kick independently for 10-15 yards, and jump into the water and swim to the wall. 
  • ​ Advanced Beginner – this class focuses on water movement and endurance. Swimmers will practice treading water, basic stroke technique, and longer distance swims. Diving will be introduced. To graduate, they can swim independently for 25 yards, tread water for 30 seconds, and control their breath to retrieve diving toys. ​​
