30-Minute Swim Lesson

The Bubble 1 Program is primarily designed to introduce infants to a water adventure where confidence, comfort, and safety skills come first! In this program, parent and child work together to learn about exiting+entering the pool, water safety, movement of the body, and other lifesaving swimming skills. Overall, it's a great bonding experience for both the parent and child while developing basic swimming and safety skills.

The Bubble 2 Program continues to focus on comfort, safety, and confidence in the water. At this level, swimmers are introduced to more skills such as jumping into the pool, swimming underwater, vertical submersion, pulling themselves out of the pool, and rolling from the stomach to the back while also reviewing the skills learned in Bubble 1. Bubble 2 swimmers who have mastered the skills listed but continue to feel anxiety in the water without a parent/guardian can move up to Nemo 1. Bubble 2 swimmers who've mastered the skills listed and are comfortable swimming without a parent/guardian can move up to Nemo 2.

The Nemo 1 class will start with basic swimming and safety skills. Swimmers will later learn how to glide, blow bubbles, swim underwater, float and move through the water in different directions. The aim of this program is to train swimmers to feel comfortable in the water without a parent/guardian present. Swimmers who can perform these skills with proper help can be promoted to Nemo 2.

The Nemo 2 class covers the same skills as Nemo 1 (gliding,blowing bubbles, swimming underwater, floating, and moving through the water in different directions). Additionally, swimmers in Nemo 2 will also learn how to reach and grasp for the edge of the pool, alternate between holding their breath underwater and taking a breath, and rotations. Swimmers who can independently jump into the pool and swim back can be promoted to the next level.

The Sea Turtle 1 class will teach swimmers rollover breathing, picking up toys underwater, how to float in the starfish position on their stomach and back, and how to kick on their stomach and back. Swimmers that do not have a lot of experience with the water will start with basic swim safety and how to blow bubbles. Swimmers who can comfortably pick up toys underwater and can kick 5 feet on their back or stomach can be promoted to the next level.

The Sea Turtle 2 class focuses on the combination of skills such as jumping, floating, breathing, and kicking. Swimmers that can jump independently, swim 10 feet using rollover breathing, and are able to pick up toys from deep underwater should be confident enough to begin learning swimming strokes.

This foundational class is intended to strengthen swimmers confidence and interest in the sport. Swimmers will become more comfortable with the water and learn basic water safety skills. Swimmers will also learn basic swimming skills such as floating, gliding, blowing bubbles underwater, and backstroke kicking.

The core purpose of this class is to help swimmers further develop their backstroke technique with a particular emphasis on kicking as kicking is the foundation for future techniques the swimmer will learn. Swimmers will practice how to float, breath, kick, and backstroke pull. Additionally, swimmers will also learn how to start safely and grasp the edge of the pool for safety. A dryland program is included.

In this class, swimmers will be introduced to catchup freestyle. Swimmers will be taught how to breathe up and down, breathe to one side, and kick on their stomachs. Straight arm and catchup drills will also serve as groundwork for advanced classes in the future. Swimmers will also continue to review previously learned backstroke techniques.

Swimmers will continue to improve on their freestyle technique with the introduction of high-elbow freestyle, high-elbow and zipper drill, bilateral breathing, and freestyle kicking. These skills will improve swimmers' balance, coordination, and rhythm which help their overall freestyle stroke.

Swimmers will be introduced to breaststroke and practice breaststroke breathing, kicking, and pulling. Swimmers will practice coordinating their arms, legs, and breathing. Swimmers will also continue to practice freestyle and backstroke.

Swimmers will be introduced to butterfly and practice the main components of the stroke: dolphin kicks, butterfly breathing patterns, and butterfly pulling, with an emphasis on flexible body coordination and endurance. Coaches will use a variety of drills to teach swimmers how to swim butterfly. Swimmers will also continue to practice freestyle, backstroke, and breaststroke.
