In the Pollywog swim lesson class, parents will learn the proper techniques to keep their child comfortable, and safe in the water. Along with some familiar nursery rhymes, toys, and games, children will be taught a variety of skills to help them begin their aquatic voyage.
Skills Taught: Blowing bubbles, getting their face wet, scooping the water with their hands, front and back floats with a kicking action as well as safety skills such as holding onto the edge and the beginning of learning how to climb from the pool.
In the Goldfish swim lesson class, parents remain in the water as the child gains confidence while working directly with the instructor. Children 2.5 yrs. old that can work independently with an instructor and will sit on the steps and take direction, should register for the Starfish class in the Elementary Program.
Skills Taught: Sitting on the steps and following directions, blowing bubbles, getting their face wet, scooping the water with their hands, front and back floats, kicking while floating on their back as well as safety skills such as holding onto the edge and climbing from the pool with no assistance.
