This is not a stroke development class. Classes begin on the first Saturday of each month. This program gives parents the information and techniques to help orient their children to the water and supervise water activities in a safe manner. The parent MUST be in the water with the child during the class. In this class children will become comfortable with the water and learn to enjoy water safely.
Students start developing good attitudes and safe practices around the water.
Blowing bubbles, submerging their face, and learning how to float are the foundations of learning how to swim properly. The class runs for thirty minutes and the learning is mixed with fun and games. In this class, water exploration is taken one step further. Building on elementary swimming skills, children begin to experiment with buoyancy and start to learn how to kick as well as start alternating arm movements. In addition, the student will practice holding their breath and retrieving objects from the bottom of the pool.
