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

Guppies

The Advanced beginner or Guppy swim program is for children who have some of the very basics of swimming.  It is both taught in shallow and some deep water.  Children at this level enjoy being in the pool and will put their face in the water.  They can demonstrate basic forward momentum in some way, but haven't put all the pieces of swimming together.  They can push themselves off the pool floor to begin "swimming" on their front and back.

Basic Skills to be practiced as a Guppy

  • learning how to properly synchronize breathing when swimming.  
  • Perfecting kicking to produce forward momentum
  • Practicing a more realistic version of freestyle and back stroke. 
  • gaining endurance and strength in the pool.  
  • Learning how to properly submerge to dive downward while swimming
  • Beginning dives
