Stage A –  For children who are new to the water or are not yet comfortable putting their face underwater. This class introduces infants and toddlers to the aquatic environment through a safe, positive experience with their parent or caregiver. Families will also learn basic water-safety practices.

Stage B –  For children who are comfortable going underwater, including their head.  Children should also be willing to jump from the pool deck into the water by themselves. This class builds comfort and independence through body positions, blowing bubbles, supported jumps, and foundational swimming and water-safety skills.

For Swimmers ages 3- 5 years, recommended skills for all to have around the water.
