Mini Swimmer 1-Intro to Water Basics - Thursday 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..

Mini Swimmer 1-Intro to Water Basics - Saturday 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.

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.

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.

My name is Asya Vinokur and I am a former elite-level competitive national gymnast who has won numerous medals and titles throughout the tri-state area of New York and surrounding states. I am proud to say that I have taken home titles such as N.Y. State champion, and Regional champion, and consistently stayed in the top 3 rankings for years.I have also qualified for Eastern/Western Opens and National Championships, ranking in the top 15 nationwide, which earned me elite-level status. Additionally, I have competed in invitational competitions nationwide during my 12-year career as a professional rhythmic gymnast.I was born in Belarus and came to the United States with my family at the age of 4. Growing up, I was born into a family of national team athletes, with my mother Valentina being a master of sport in equestrian riding and my father Dmitry being a master of sport for wrestling. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY, where I started practicing rhythmic gymnastics at the age of 6 and quickly progressed and excelled at the sport.Thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about me and Can’t wait to see you in class!Min 4/Max 10Scholarships available- Application linked below*No class on Monday, November 11th
