As toddlers and young children gain more physical skills and start walking, they are ready to learn more skills in the water. Children learn to swim a short distance, roll onto their back to float and breathe, and flip back over to continue the sequence of swimming and floating until they can reach safety at the steps or side of the pool. Swimmers learn the foundation of both water safety and swimming techniques needed to progress to future levels.
Lessons are scheduled Monday through Thursday, with four lessons per week to ensure consistency and steady progress. The program length typically ranges from 20-30 lessons, but every child is different and may require more or fewer lessons to master the necessary skills.
