Instructors will lead you and your child through games, songs and water exploration exercises that help your child adapt to the water. Children started in this level are less likely to fear the water and move quickly through the progressive learn to swim levels.

Little Fishies (Preschool One)

Swimmers will draw on skills obtained from previous levels to learn the
fundamental skills of swimming. Instructors will teach participants how to float
independently, how to hold their breath underwater and swim short distances using front and back crawl movements. This level is a must for anyone who wishes to develop skills for either recreational or competitive swimming.

Blue Fish (Level 3)
Blue fish takes a big step helping swimmers expand their overall proficiency
and abilities of swimmers and raising the expectations when it comes to swimming skills.

Rescue positions both individually and with a group, jumping into deep water without support and rescue breathing also will be introduced.
