Description In this class, swimmers ages 3 to 5 will focus on body
position and control, directional change, and forward movement in the
water while also continuing to practice how to safely exit if they
fall into a body of water. Swimmers must be able to demonstrate all
stage one skills before attending this class: go underwater and
comfortably open their eyes without goggles; float on front and back
with minimal assistance; jump into the pool, submerge, and return to
the wall with assistance. This class is for kids who cannot do a front
and back float on their own. Swimmers will practice and develop the
following skills: submerge to look at an object on the bottom of the
pool; front and back glide to the wall for five feet; front and back
float for ten seconds; roll from back to front and front to back;
jump, push, turn, grab; swim, float, swim five yards; tread water near
the wall for ten seconds; exit the water. Learn more at
