The purpose of this course is to foster in very young children a high comfort level in the water while at the same time training parents and caregivers in water safety and drowning prevention. This course does not teach children to become accomplished swimmers or to survive in the water; it does provide a confidence building, fun, and loving experience.
PRE-SWIM SCHOOL AGES 3 1/2 -6 1/2
Students work toward development of the five core swimming competencies and receive color stage awards for each achievement. The animal stages (Tadpole, Jellyfish, Otter, Porpoise) are used to divide students into broad ability groups.
Children progress at individual rates with the opportunity to learn the core swimming skills and progress to advanced strokes. Learning is self-paced but challenging.
