Catfish
As a beginner, I will be learning to be comfortable underwater while learning safety skills and starting to learn the correct movements for freestyle and backstroke.
Stingray
If I'm younger than 8, I move into the Stingray class. Here I’m working on swimming freestyle with a little bit of help when I breathe. I’m also excited to learn how to kick on my back across the pool!
Dolphin
In this level, you will watch me gain confidence as I improve my freestyle skills! I will learn to get my arms out of the water like a big swimmer and I will get to learn backstroke kicks!
Tigershark
If I'm older than 8, I move into the Tigershark class. I will practice swimming the length of the pool while I focus on my freestyle arms and learning to take a side breath. I will also be introduced to proper backstroke arms and kicks as a Tigershark.

Starfish Class
Starfish
I get to take my first swim lessons! In this level I will learn to be comfortable in the water! With the help of my Instructor, and my mom or dad I am going to learn important safety skills such as breath control, grabbing the wall, and floating on my back!
Sea Turtle
In this level, I will continue to build on skills that I learned in Starfish. Even though mom or dad is still in class with me, I will also learn how to be independent while I am on the step. Learning Self-Rescue skills are important as a Sea Turtle so that I can learn breath control, how to move around the pool safely, and how to float on my back.
