CLASS DESCRIPTIONS

Baby & Me - Songs and simple repetitive routines introduce your baby to the water. We will spend time on floating, breath control, safety and propulsion.

Goldfish 3-5 years - Games, songs, fun and practice combine to help students enter the water and improve comfort levels. Skills like floating, gliding, breath control, and kicking are introduced.

Penguins 3-5 years - Children already at ease with the goldfish skills set described above refine these skills, increase water comfort and begin working with arm strokes, kicks, and streamlines on front and back.

Otters 5-8 years - Very similar skills are introduced and developed as those in the goldfish, penguins, or seals classes. These students are often ready to focus and progress more quickly.

Seals 4-5 years - Students improve armstrokes, breathing skills, and balance, and body position while increasing coordination in Freestyle. They start to learn Backstroke, elementary Backstroke and Dolphin Kick.

Sunfish 5+ years - Students entering here can swim 30 feet rolling to breathe with many freestyle skills that need to be refined. Safety sense, stamina, and early refinement of other strokes are emphasized.

Dolphins 6+ - Swimmers can already swim the length of the pool with reasonably good form. The emphasis will be on refining and maximizing efficiency in all strokes as well as improving diving skills, safety sense and endurance.

Orcas 6+ - So that we may have the opportunity to offer all levels of classes during these sessions, Dolphins and Orcas are combined into one class.
