9:00 AM - 9:30 AM	Pre-Mini Swimmers: A Transition from Family Lessons into Mini Swimmer Lessons - MORNING CLASS-Thursdays at 9am This class is for children 2.5-4 years old, and is a transitional stage in aquatic development from having lessons WITH a family member (like Family Lessons) to entering into a class taught by the instructor only (like Mini 1). Our goal is to provide quality, positive instruction in a safe environment where non-swimmers can work towards being in a class working towards class independence.  Parents will be IN the water for the first few classes, will be partially in the water for a few classes and will be OUT of the water by the last few classes. The instructor will advise on how this works from one class to the next. Concepts that will be worked on during each swim lesson: confidence and independence while partaking in a class, willingness to use floatation aids (bubble belts and barbells) and a readiness to learn in a small group setting.  Students will learn to get their faces wet by blowing bubbles, pushing off the wall, jumps/plops, floating, basic front and back swimming. Students will also gain a basic understanding of pool safety rules.  Max: 6 children WITH their adult
9:00 AM - 9:45 AM	Level 3- Developing Swim Skills for Strength & Safety - Session 1: Tues & Thurs 9am OBJECTIVE: To build on the fundamental skills (see Level 2) through guided practice and development of new strokesPrerequisites include: perform an unsupported float, glide on front and back, independent swimming on front and back for a minimum of 15 meters, and the ability to roll from front to back float and back to front swim.  The child must feel confident in deep water and have passed the Shallow Water Swim Test.  Skills introduced include: front crawl with rhythmic breathing, back crawl, rotary breathing, butterfly kick and body motion, sitting/kneeling dives, elementary backstroke coordination, introduction of breaststroke, and treading water.  Students will build endurance in this level.  In order to pass out of this level, students MUST pass the SoPo DEEP WATER SWIM TEST which is the ability to jump into deep water, surface to float/tread for 15-30 sec, swim (in any capacity) one length of the pool, going underwater at least one more time.

9:00 AM - 9:30 AM	Mini Swimmer 1-Intro to Water Basics - Session 1: Tues & Thurs at 9am For children 3-5 years old, this is an introductory stage in aquatic development.  We take a playful approach to learning water safety and swimming basics.  Many children who take this class are brand new to swimming instruction.  Our goal is to provide quality, positive instruction in a safe environment where non-swimmers can work towards self-sufficiency in the water.  Instructors will utilize a variety of teaching techniques all aimed at repeated practice of foundational swimming skills (floating, paddling, gliding etc) with the aided use of floatation/training devices.  This class will maintain a 1:5 (instructor : student) ratio, whenever possible. Students are in the water with the instructor only, while a lifeguard is on duty near the class.  We do not allow family members to enter the water with their child. In order to pass out of this level into Mini 2, students must be able to get their faces wet comfortably, swim on their front with minimal assistance/floatation and float or swim on their back with minimal assistance.  Students must also have a basic understanding of pool safety rules and be willing participants in the class.** PLEASE NOTE...If you child is older than 3 years, but has never had formal swim lessons, please talk to the pool staff about which class is best for their first time in swim lessons.  It is not necessarily THIS class..
9:00 AM - 9:30 AM	Mini Swimmer 2-Fundamentals of Safe Swimming - Session 1: Tues & Thurs 9am Mini 2 is designed for those 3-5 year old children who have passed Mini I or can demonstrate (at the first class) a higher level of ability and comfort in the water.  Mini 2 students must be able to put their faces in the water comfortably, swim with minimal assistance/floatation for short distance and float on their back with minimal support before entering the class.  In this class, students will concentrate on more endurance swimming with proper body positioning, learning to swim on their backs, rhythmic breathing, and rolling over for safety.  Skills at this level are performed with instructor assistance/floatation aids, with a goal of moving towards independent swimming.  In order to pass into Mini 3, students must be able to swim a short distance on their front and back with NO support/floatation, and roll over to a float with ease. Students must also have a clear understanding of pool safety rules and be willing participants in the class..

Our goal is to provide quality, positive instruction in a safe environment where non-swimmers can work towards being in a class working towards class independence.  Parents will be IN the water for the first few classes, will be partially in the water for a few classes and will be OUT of the water by the last few classes. The instructor will advise on how this works from one class to the next. Concepts that will be worked on during each swim lesson: confidence and independence while partaking in a class, willingness to use floatation aids (bubble belts and barbells) and a readiness to learn in a small group setting.  Students will learn to get their faces wet by blowing bubbles, pushing off the wall, jumps/plops, floating, basic front and back swimming. Students will also gain a basic understanding of pool safety rules.  Max: 6 children WITH their adult

9:00 AM - 9:30 AM	Mini Swimmer 1-Intro to Water Basics - Session 1: Tues & Thurs at 9am For children 3-5 years old, this is an introductory stage in aquatic development.  We take a playful approach to learning water safety and swimming basics.  Many children who take this class are brand new to swimming instruction.  Our goal is to provide quality, positive instruction in a safe environment where non-swimmers can work towards self-sufficiency in the water.  Instructors will utilize a variety of teaching techniques all aimed at repeated practice of foundational swimming skills (floating, paddling, gliding etc) with the aided use of floatation/training devices.  This class will maintain a 1:5 (instructor : student) ratio, whenever possible. Students are in the water with the instructor only, while a lifeguard is on duty near the class.  We do not allow family members to enter the water with their child. In order to pass out of this level into Mini 2, students must be able to get their faces wet comfortably, swim on their front with minimal assistance/floatation and float or swim on their back with minimal assistance.  Students must also have a basic understanding of pool safety rules and be willing participants in the class.** PLEASE NOTE...If you child is older than 3 years, but has never had formal swim lessons, please talk to the pool staff about which class is best for their first time in swim lessons.  It is not necessarily THIS class..
9:00 AM - 9:30 AM	Mini Swimmer 2-Fundamentals of Safe Swimming - Session 1: Tues & Thurs 9am Mini 2 is designed for those 3-5 year old children who have passed Mini I or can demonstrate (at the first class) a higher level of ability and comfort in the water.  Mini 2 students must be able to put their faces in the water comfortably, swim with minimal assistance/floatation for short distance and float on their back with minimal support before entering the class.  In this class, students will concentrate on more endurance swimming with proper body positioning, learning to swim on their backs, rhythmic breathing, and rolling over for safety.  Skills at this level are performed with instructor assistance/floatation aids, with a goal of moving towards independent swimming.  In order to pass into Mini 3, students must be able to swim a short distance on their front and back with NO support/floatation, and roll over to a float with ease. Students must also have a clear understanding of pool safety rules and be willing participants in the class..
9:00 AM - 9:30 AM	Pre-Mini Swimmers: A Transition from Family Lessons into Mini Swimmer Lessons - MORNING CLASS-Thursdays at 9am This class is for children 2.5-4 years old, and is a transitional stage in aquatic development from having lessons WITH a family member (like Family Lessons) to entering into a class taught by the instructor only (like Mini 1). Our goal is to provide quality, positive instruction in a safe environment where non-swimmers can work towards being in a class working towards class independence.  Parents will be IN the water for the first few classes, will be partially in the water for a few classes and will be OUT of the water by the last few classes. The instructor will advise on how this works from one class to the next. Concepts that will be worked on during each swim lesson: confidence and independence while partaking in a class, willingness to use floatation aids (bubble belts and barbells) and a readiness to learn in a small group setting.  Students will learn to get their faces wet by blowing bubbles, pushing off the wall, jumps/plops, floating, basic front and back swimming. Students will also gain a basic understanding of pool safety rules.  Max: 6 children WITH their adult

Students are in the water with the instructor only, while a lifeguard is on duty near the class.  We do not allow family members to enter the water with their child. In order to pass out of this level into Mini 2, students must be able to get their faces wet comfortably, swim on their front with minimal assistance/floatation and float or swim on their back with minimal assistance.  Students must also have a basic understanding of pool safety rules and be willing participants in the class.** PLEASE NOTE...If you child is older than 3 years, but has never had formal swim lessons, please talk to the pool staff about which class is best for their first time in swim lessons.  It is not necessarily THIS class..

Students must also have a clear understanding of pool safety rules and be willing participants in the class..
6:00 PM - 6:30 PM	Mini Swimmers 3-Development of Swimming Strokes - Tuesdays at 6pm 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.

Our goal is to provide quality, positive instruction in a safe environment where non-swimmers can work towards being in a class working towards class independence.  Parents will be IN the water for the first few classes, will be partially in the water for a few classes and will be OUT of the water by the last few classes. The instructor will advise on how this works from one class to the next. Concepts that will be worked on during each swim lesson: confidence and independence while partaking in a class, willingness to use floatation aids (bubble belts and barbells) and a readiness to learn in a small group setting.  Students will learn to get their faces wet by blowing bubbles, pushing off the wall, jumps/plops, floating, basic front and back swimming. Students will also gain a basic understanding of pool safety rules.  Max: 6 children WITH their adult

9:00 AM - 9:30 AM	Mini Swimmer 1-Intro to Water Basics - Session 1: Tues & Thurs at 9am For children 3-5 years old, this is an introductory stage in aquatic development.  We take a playful approach to learning water safety and swimming basics.  Many children who take this class are brand new to swimming instruction.  Our goal is to provide quality, positive instruction in a safe environment where non-swimmers can work towards self-sufficiency in the water.  Instructors will utilize a variety of teaching techniques all aimed at repeated practice of foundational swimming skills (floating, paddling, gliding etc) with the aided use of floatation/training devices.  This class will maintain a 1:5 (instructor : student) ratio, whenever possible. Students are in the water with the instructor only, while a lifeguard is on duty near the class.  We do not allow family members to enter the water with their child. In order to pass out of this level into Mini 2, students must be able to get their faces wet comfortably, swim on their front with minimal assistance/floatation and float or swim on their back with minimal assistance.  Students must also have a basic understanding of pool safety rules and be willing participants in the class.** PLEASE NOTE...If you child is older than 3 years, but has never had formal swim lessons, please talk to the pool staff about which class is best for their first time in swim lessons.  It is not necessarily THIS class..
9:00 AM - 9:30 AM	Mini Swimmer 2-Fundamentals of Safe Swimming - Session 1: Tues & Thurs 9am Mini 2 is designed for those 3-5 year old children who have passed Mini I or can demonstrate (at the first class) a higher level of ability and comfort in the water.  Mini 2 students must be able to put their faces in the water comfortably, swim with minimal assistance/floatation for short distance and float on their back with minimal support before entering the class.  In this class, students will concentrate on more endurance swimming with proper body positioning, learning to swim on their backs, rhythmic breathing, and rolling over for safety.  Skills at this level are performed with instructor assistance/floatation aids, with a goal of moving towards independent swimming.  In order to pass into Mini 3, students must be able to swim a short distance on their front and back with NO support/floatation, and roll over to a float with ease. Students must also have a clear understanding of pool safety rules and be willing participants in the class..

Our goal is to provide quality, positive instruction in a safe environment where non-swimmers can work towards being in a class working towards class independence.  Parents will be IN the water for the first few classes, will be partially in the water for a few classes and will be OUT of the water by the last few classes. The instructor will advise on how this works from one class to the next. Concepts that will be worked on during each swim lesson: confidence and independence while partaking in a class, willingness to use floatation aids (bubble belts and barbells) and a readiness to learn in a small group setting.  Students will learn to get their faces wet by blowing bubbles, pushing off the wall, jumps/plops, floating, basic front and back swimming. Students will also gain a basic understanding of pool safety rules.  Max: 6 children WITH their adult

6:00 PM - 6:30 PM	Mini Swimmers 3-Development of Swimming Strokes - Tuesdays at 6pm 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.
6:00 PM - 6:30 PM	Pre-Mini Swimmers: A Transition from Family Lessons into Mini Swimmer Lessons - EVENING CLASS-Tuesdays at 6pm This class is for children 2.5-4 years old, and is a transitional stage in aquatic development from having lessons WITH a family member (like Family Lessons) to entering into a class taught by the instructor only (like Mini 1). Our goal is to provide quality, positive instruction in a safe environment where non-swimmers can work towards being in a class working towards class independence.  Parents will be IN the water for the first few classes, will be partially in the water for a few classes and will be OUT of the water by the last few classes. The instructor will advise on how this works from one class to the next. Concepts that will be worked on during each swim lesson: confidence and independence while partaking in a class, willingness to use floatation aids (bubble belts and barbells) and a readiness to learn in a small group setting.  Students will learn to get their faces wet by blowing bubbles, pushing off the wall, jumps/plops, floating, basic front and back swimming. Students will also gain a basic understanding of pool safety rules.  Max: 6 children WITH their adult

9:00 AM - 9:30 AM	Mini Swimmer 1-Intro to Water Basics - Session 2: Tues & Thurs at 9am For children 3-5 years old, this is an introductory stage in aquatic development.  We take a playful approach to learning water safety and swimming basics.  Many children who take this class are brand new to swimming instruction.  Our goal is to provide quality, positive instruction in a safe environment where non-swimmers can work towards self-sufficiency in the water.  Instructors will utilize a variety of teaching techniques all aimed at repeated practice of foundational swimming skills (floating, paddling, gliding etc) with the aided use of floatation/training devices.  This class will maintain a 1:5 (instructor : student) ratio, whenever possible. Students are in the water with the instructor only, while a lifeguard is on duty near the class.  We do not allow family members to enter the water with their child. In order to pass out of this level into Mini 2, students must be able to get their faces wet comfortably, swim on their front with minimal assistance/floatation and float or swim on their back with minimal assistance.  Students must also have a basic understanding of pool safety rules and be willing participants in the class.** PLEASE NOTE...If you child is older than 3 years, but has never had formal swim lessons, please talk to the pool staff about which class is best for their first time in swim lessons.  It is not necessarily THIS class..
9:00 AM - 9:30 AM	Mini Swimmer 2-Fundamentals of Safe Swimming - Session 2: Tues & Thurs 9am Mini 2 is designed for those 3-5 year old children who have passed Mini I or can demonstrate (at the first class) a higher level of ability and comfort in the water.  Mini 2 students must be able to put their faces in the water comfortably, swim with minimal assistance/floatation for short distance and float on their back with minimal support before entering the class.  In this class, students will concentrate on more endurance swimming with proper body positioning, learning to swim on their backs, rhythmic breathing, and rolling over for safety.  Skills at this level are performed with instructor assistance/floatation aids, with a goal of moving towards independent swimming.  In order to pass into Mini 3, students must be able to swim a short distance on their front and back with NO support/floatation, and roll over to a float with ease. Students must also have a clear understanding of pool safety rules and be willing participants in the class..
9:00 AM - 9:30 AM	Pre-Mini Swimmers: A Transition from Family Lessons into Mini Swimmer Lessons - MORNING CLASS-Thursdays at 9am This class is for children 2.5-4 years old, and is a transitional stage in aquatic development from having lessons WITH a family member (like Family Lessons) to entering into a class taught by the instructor only (like Mini 1). Our goal is to provide quality, positive instruction in a safe environment where non-swimmers can work towards being in a class working towards class independence.  Parents will be IN the water for the first few classes, will be partially in the water for a few classes and will be OUT of the water by the last few classes. The instructor will advise on how this works from one class to the next. Concepts that will be worked on during each swim lesson: confidence and independence while partaking in a class, willingness to use floatation aids (bubble belts and barbells) and a readiness to learn in a small group setting.  Students will learn to get their faces wet by blowing bubbles, pushing off the wall, jumps/plops, floating, basic front and back swimming. Students will also gain a basic understanding of pool safety rules.  Max: 6 children WITH their adult
