Class levels
Minnows
Requirement - Must be able to put their face in the water. If they can not do that you can schedule individual lessons if you would like.
This 30 minute class is for novice swimmers who are ready to move more efficiently through the water. We work to improve their comfort in the water, introduce specific drills and utilize fun activities to improve their ability to kick on their stomachs/backs. Ultimately, we work this class up to kicking on their backs 1-3 lengths of the pool depending on the swimmer and class. The age range for this class has been 4-7. It's more about their comfort and skill in the water than current age.
Class Size: Max 4-6/class - Items needed: Swimming cap and goggles
