6 months - 2 years old (30-minute lessons)
This course will help young children become comfortable in, on, and around the water, so that when the time comes, they will be ready to learn how to swim. The instructor will follow a plan to introduce new swimming and water safety skills that are developmentally appropriate and engaging for infants and young children. It is essential to understand that Parent and Child Aquatics is not designed to teach children to become good swimmers or even to survive in the water on their own. This class introduces you and your child to basic skills. As parents, you learn how to safely work with your child in the water, including how to support and hold your child correctly, and how to prepare and encourage them to participate fully and try new skills. In addition, you are introduced to several water safety topics. Your child receives an introduction to basic skills that lay a foundation for learning to swim. An adult, such as a parent, guardian, or caregiver, is required to accompany each child in the water and participate in every class. The adult participants learn too!
Ages 3 years old - 5 years old (30-minute lessons)
For each level of Preschool Aquatics, our instructors follow a plan to introduce new swimming and water safety skills that are developmentally appropriate for young children. Preschool Aquatics puts the "fun" in fundamentals. Each class is filled with enjoyable, engaging, and challenging activities that motivate children to want to learn how to swim.
- Preschool Level 1, your child is introduced to basic skills. These skills lay the foundation for developing water competency and the future skill development of swimming strokes. In addition, your child starts to develop positive attitudes and safe water practices.
- At the Preschool Level 2, your child continues to lay the foundation for developing water competency and further skill development. This level marks the beginning of independent aquatic locomotion skills. Children continue to explore using simultaneous and alternating arm and leg actions on the front and back to gain greater proficiency in preparation for performing strokes.
- Preschool Level 3 is for young children who are more independent in the water. New swimming skills and water safety skills are introduced to further the child's development of water competency..
Ages 5 years old and up (45-minute lessons)
For every level, our instructors follow a plan to introduce new swimming and water safety skills and build on skills previously learned. Each class is filled with fun, engaging, and challenging activities that motivate children to want to learn and perform in the water. It is common for children to participate in several sessions of a level before they successfully demonstrate each skill. That is okay! It is not important how quickly they move through a level, but that they acquire each skill.
- Level 1 - Introduction to Water Skills: Your child is introduced to basic skills that form the foundation for future skills and the development of water competency, which are the essential minimum skills needed for water safety.
- Level 2 - Fundamental Aquatic Skills builds on skills learned in Level 1. Your child begins to perform skills at a slightly more advanced level and begins gaining rudimentary propulsive skills on both the front and the back. This level marks the beginning of independent aquatic locomotion skills.
- Level 3 - Stroke Development builds on skills learned in previous levels. Your child learns the front crawl and elementary backstroke at a rudimentary level, is introduced to the scissors and dolphin kicks, learns the survival float, and increases the time spent treading water. Your child also knows the rules for headfirst entries and begins to learn to enter the water headfirst from a seated position in 9-foot-deep water or deeper at the poolside.
- Level 4 - Stroke Improvement works on improving the swimming stroke proficiency and swimming for longer distances.
- Level 5 - Stroke Refinement: The instructor follows a plan to refine all six swimming strokes, including swimming longer distances. The expectations are higher regarding distance and quality.
- Level 6 - This level is split into two sections that the participant can pick from: Personal Water Safety or Fitness Swimmer.
Registration is required
- Class Sizes are limited to provide the best instruction per participant.
