Levels
The Baby & Me 1 class is a great way to introduce littles ones to the water! Our focus for this level is water safety, floating, and basic swimming skills. Baby & Me classes are a fun and interactive way for us to teach parents how to teach their babies to build confidence in the water. A few swimming objectives for this level are:
- Water acclimation by practicing bubbles and submersions.
- Front to back roll.
- Back floats
- Jumping and swimming to safety
- Swimming and kicking 5 feet independently.
Our baby & Me 2 class is designed to build on the skills that were taught in our Baby & Me 1 class. Our goal for this level is to have our swimmers start being able to swim more independently and prepare swimmers to age out into our pre school classes. A few swimming objectives for this level are:
- Water submersions and bobs
- Independent front float
- Independent back float
- Front and back glides with kicks
- Swimming and kicking for 15 feet
