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..

Pre-Mini Swimmers: A Transition from Family Lessons into Mini Swimmer Lessons - Saturdays at 11:30am
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
