Mini 3 is designed for children ages 3-5, and is built on the skills learned in Mini 1 & 2. Instructors will provide additional guided practice of basic aquatic skills with a goal of gaining more proficiency with swimming at greater distances with varied strokes. Skills taught at this level will include: streamlined blast offs, front crawl with rhythmic breathing and proper body positioning, elementary backstroke arms, the ability to roll over to swim greater distances and for safety, back floating, as well as sitting/kneeling dives. A good portion of this class will be spent in deeper water with a focus on safety skills.
When these students turn 6 years old and enter Progressive Youth Swim Lessons, they may be recommended to go to Level 2 or 3, based on their skill set, comfort in deep water and their full understanding of pool safety rules and willingness to pay attention and participate in the class.
Waiting List & Masks
- If you are unable to register for a class or do not get into the class time you are hoping for, please call the Community Center and ask to be placed on a Waiting List. 767-7650
- We will no longer allow children to wear masks (that cover their nose) during swim lessons. Please do not have your child bring a mask to lessons. Masks impede a child's ability to learn proper breath control and will ultimately hinder their progress in learning to swim. Goggles (that only cover their eyes) are perfectly acceptable. Thank you for respecting this policy.
