Nemos
This beginning level for children teaches them to be comfortable and safe in the water. Instructors will focus on introducing children to the water and improving their safety and comfort in the swimming pool. The class will feature activities such as: face in the water, wet the hair, submerging, opening eyes, front glide, back glide, breath control, moving around comfortably, blowing bubbles. We highly recommend this level for children who have never taken lessons, preferably children between 3 and 5 years old.
Sea Turtles
This group is for children confident in the water and 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 more proficiency for strokes. At this level, arm position, leg exercises, floating and breathing will all be connected with freestyle and backstroke. This level is recommended for children that are confident in the water but never had lessons, or children that have taken and passed the Nemos level. Preferably children between 4 and 8 years old.
Dolphins
This group is for children that are confident in the water and know the basic swimming skills of free style and backstroke. At this level the arm position, legs exercises, breathing, turns, tread water and diving will be practiced. The focus of this group is for children that already know basic skills of freestyle and backstroke or for children that passed the Sea Turtles level. Preferably children between 6 and 12 years old.
Sharks
In this class, the swimmers will improve their backstroke, freestyle, breaststroke movements. The correct position to dive will also be an essential skill learned in the class. This class is recommended for children that successfully finished Dolphins level or children with previous swimming experience. Preferably children between 7 and 12 years old.
