This beginner-level program allows Mom (or Dad) to be in the water with their infant/toddler, as early as possible, receiving orientation from a professional instructor. We work towards developing the child’s natural instincts with water, in addition to primary skills such as buoyancy, propulsion, and breath control. Aquamotion provides one of the leading programs in the country for developing young swimmers.
POLLYWOG (intro class) 6 month – 2 Years Max 8 Tots
Mandatory Introduction class to Seahorse. This class is required prior to attending the Seahorse Parent and Tot class. This one time class will get the parent familiar with the process and requirements of the Seahorse class.
SEAHORSE 6 months – 2 years – Max 6 Tots
This is the only class that allows for one of the parents to be in the water. This class instructs the parents how to hold and work directly with their child. The main focus of this class is to teach the child to float on their back, which is achieved by using the same repetitive movements in every class. The child will also become comfortable holding their breath and being submerged under water.
Our beginners level goal is to make children water-safe by learning the important skill of back-floating.
This ability is proved to be the best technique one can learn to prevent drowning in any body of water.
CLOWNFISH 1 year – 3 years Max 3 Tots per class (instructor plus assistant)
Assistant sits near the pool (if necessary, depending on the class’s ratio). Parents are not allowed in the pool deck. The instructor works with one child at a time teaching them how to float on their back, go underwater holding their breath, moving along the wall with their hands to get to the steps, as well as other important safety skills.
ANGELFISH 3 years – 8 years Max 4 kids per class
The children sit on the pool edge or stay on the platform in the water, while the instructor works with one child at a time teaching them to float on their back, go under water, retrieve toys at the bottom of the pool, and other fun activities. As they progress, the student will be able to float on their back independently, and will be ready to move up to the next level. (This is the same class structure as the Clownfish. The difference is that this class does not require a pool assistant during the class since the children are older).
There are 2 Intermediate levels. The Goldfish level the children will learn the basic freestyle strokes, such as arms, kicks, and streamline. They will also continue to work on the back propulsion while floating. The Dolphin level children will learn the 3 main strokes (Freestyle, Backstroke, Breaststroke).
GOLDFISH 3 years – 10 years Max 4 kids per class
Your child has already learned the survival technique, which is the ability of floating onto his/her back. On this new level your child will learn the basic back and front propulsion technique, also known as freestyle. This is the basis of learning how to swim. This level builds confidence in preparation for the next level.
DOLPHIN 4 years –12 years Max 6 kids per class
This level will work on your child’s improvement of the freestyle and will introduce both the breaststroke techniques and the backstroke. We utilize a variety of drills and equipment for each stroke. By the conclusion of this level your child will have better endurance and a good understanding of these 3 main strokes. The student will graduate to our final level, Stingray.
In our last level, Stingray, the children will perfect the 3 main strokes utilizing several dryland and water drills, and will learn the last of the main strokes, Butterfly.
The student will develop endurance and stamina to perform in larger pools.
STINGRAY 6 years – 13 years Max kids 8 per class
The instructor will focus on the details of the breathing techniques and the correct use of the arms and legs to perfect the strokes learned on the previous level. This is a faster paced class where we will also work with your child to build their endurance and stamina. Your child will learn the final stroke, the butterfly. Once they are comfortable with all 4 strokes they are ready to join a Swim Team.
