Survival Class Program

This is a water survival program designed to teach independent swimming and self-rescue skills to infants, toddlers and young children. We begin by gently introducing your child to the water and then focus on teaching them to attain and maintain a back float from any fall-in situation. Older children also learn to swim a short distance between back floats to reach a safe location. At the end of the course, your child will practice their skills in clothing and shoes to simulate a real water accident. You will also learn how to work with them yourself to maintain their skills and safely enjoy the water together.

Beginning Stroke

This class is for children who are strong swimmers and are starting to outgrow FUNdations. The purpose of this class is to continue good swimming habits learned in FUNdations and introduce arm movement. Students will learn a modified freestyle with recovery-focused arm movements in this level, while continuing to reinforce a strong kick with good head and body position. This class is ideal to prepare children for their first year of an amateur swim team.
