Small Fries

The Beginner, or Small Fry swim program is for children who are ready to learn the very basics of swimming.  It is a shallow water class.  This is a class for children who enjoy the water but do not yet know how, or feel insecure about putting their body in a prone position to swim or float on their own.  They might not be putting their face in the water yet.  It is not a class for a child who is fearful of the water.

Basic Skills to be practiced as a Small Fry

  • Becoming familiar with putting their face in the water by blowing bubbles and bobbing
  • gaining confidence with floating on the back and belly
  • Learning how to kick properly to produce forward momentum
  • learning how to glide off the wall to begin a swim stroke
  • Learning basic stroke movements to produce rudimentary freestyle and back stroke.
  • Basic water safety

  • Perfecting kicking to produce forward momentum
  • Practicing a more realistic version of freestyle and back stroke. 
  • gaining endurance and strength in the pool.
