Tadpoles

Guppies

Guppies -Level 1- Intro to water

(2 yrs) Some classes require parent participation.

COST: $89
This 5-day group class, primarily for 18 months-3 yr olds, is designed to introduce young toddlers to the water.  The PRIMARY goal of this class is to get the child comfortable in the pool, and, most importantly, to be comfortable putting their face and head underwater (a necessary skill when learning to swim). The students will be taught basic swim positions including front and back floating with support, kicking, blowing bubbles, holding on to the side of the pool, and safely jumping off the side. We will practice safe submersion techniques for those who are ready.

If you and your child have participated in the tadpole class, it is possible for your child to skip this level.  (For the safety of all of our swimmers, swim diapers are required for all children who are not completely potty trained.)  If your child is age 2-3 and has some experience in the water OR is over the age of 3, I recommend starting with the level 2 jellyfish.

The guppies class for 18 months-2 yrs is for toddlers who are ready for swim instruction but not yet ready for a formal class with a teacher. In this guppies class, one parent/adult will need to get in the pool with the child and the teacher will help each parent work on skills to practice with the child.

Jellyfish

Jellyfish-Level 2
COST: $98
This 5-day group class teaches basic floating techniques with the goal of independent floating, jumping off the side, swim safety skills, introduction to treading water with a flotation device, and teaches the most basic swimming stroke, the glide, which will enable the child to swim back and forth in the shallow end of the pool. This stroke implements only a leg kick with no arm movement and is very simple to master.  (For the safety of all of our swimmers, swim diapers are required for all children who are not completely potty trained.) When selecting this class on our calendar, be sure to select the appropriate age range.

This 5-day group class is for those who have completed MOST of the Eels skills checklist but who are not COMPLETELY independent in the deep end and ready to move to Stingrays level. We cover basically the same strokes as Stingrays, but the students in Manta Rays do not have to swim the longer lengths as the students in Stingrays level. See class page for for information. This class is combined with the Stingray class on the schedule.

This class is combined with the Manta ray class on the schedule.
