Nemos:  This beginning level for children teaches them to be comfortable and safe in the water. This level will focus on introducing children to the water and improving their safety and comfort in the swimming pool. The class will feature activities such as: face in the water, wet the hair, blowing bubbles and having fun in the class with aquatic recreation, gaining confidence and interest in swimming. We highly recommend this level for children who have never taken lessons, preferably children between 3 and 5 years old.

Sea Turtles: This class will introduce exercises in the water such as: arm movement, body position, leg movement, floating and blowing bubbles, all connected with free style and backstroke. This level is recommended for children that are confident in the water but never had lessons, or children that have taken and passed Nemos level.

Dolphins: This group is for children that that are confident in the water and know the basic swimming skills. At this level the arm position, legs exercises, breathing and diving will be practiced. Kickboards will be used for better results. Breastroke will be introduced in this class. The focus of this group is for children that already know basic skills for freestyle and backstroke or for children that passed the Sea Turtles level.
