Pre-school swim lessons are for beginner swimmers ages 3-5 that need to learn the basics of swimming. This class is intended to introduce non-swimmers to basic swimming and water skills such as: understanding water safety and pool rules, gaining self-confidence in the water, blowing bubbles from nose and mouth, floating on front and back, submerging completely under water, introducing front crawl, kicking legs, and jumping into pool safely. Class goal is to enable students to take skills introduced from assisted to unassisted and from use of floatation devices to swimming without one.***Please note: a use of a floatation device will be use in class on a child until the instructor feels child is ready to go without one. Also, skills taught are not limited to the above mentioned.
