LESSONS

Infant & Toddler:
Water Introduction

TINY TOTS, TADPOLES, & TURTLES

These classes are an introduction to swimming! The goal is for students to feel comfortable with the sights, sounds and sensations of the pool. We use songs, games and play to teach your child beginning swim skills—be prepared to sing, dance and smile along while teaching your child to be safe and comfortable in the pool! By the end of these levels, students should be comfortable enough to submerge vertically and horizontally, blow bubbles, listen and follow instructions, and swim with adults other than their parents.

Tiny Tots and Tadpoles require an adult in the water with each child. In order to graduate to Turtles, students must be able to swim independently with a backpack and follow instructions in a group. Turtles must also be at least two years old.

The Turtle level uses the same explorative, experiential teaching style as the Tots and Tadpoles, but with a greater emphasis on independent movement. The Turtle class also has a smaller class ratio—only 4–5 students per class.
