Description
Level 1: Water Exploration
(must be potty trained)
PURPOSE: Orient to aquatic environment, create a sound foundation for aquatic and safety skills: introduce front glide.
There are no prerequisites for this class. The objective of level 1 is to help students feel comfortable in the water and to enjoy the water safely. In level 1 we teach elementary aquatic skills. At this level students also start to develop good attitudes and safe practices around the water. Students who have had pleasant water experiences complete this level quickly. However, fear of the water may be a major issue for some students regardless of age.
Before students enter the water for the first time, we acquaint them with the swimming area and explain the safety rules for our facility. We impress on all students, and especially younger ones, that they can and will learn to swim if they follow our directions, as long as they are willing to try new things, even skills they consider scary at first. Throughout the course, we provide a wide variety of experiences to meet the course objectives and provide a fun and safe environment.
30 Minutes for $50.00/session
