Tadpoles: This level is for parents and their children ages 6 months to 3 years old. There must be at
least one parent per child. This class provides parents with some basic techniques for teaching their
infants water adjustment and early swimming skills. This is a great opportunity for young ones to
explore and become familiar with the water.
Team fees are due by August 13, 2017 or until leagues fill. No rosters.
Minnows: This level is designed for children ages 3 or 4 that are having their first swimming lesson
experience. Children will begin with water adjustment and progress at the child’s pace. It is possible
to develop a beginner’s front stroke and backstroke at this level.
Games are Tuesdays (Lower League) or Wednesdays (Middle League)
Guppies: This level is aimed towards children ages 4 or 5 who have completed the
Minnows class or who are ready for the Goldfish class but are not tall enough. This class combines
water exploration and primary swimming skills in a water level where children can touch.
Teams play two 50-minute games on their designated nights
Goldfish: In this class children are taught the fundamental skill of swimming such as floating without support. They also begin to add arm and leg actions of swimming and slowly try to combine the
tasks and turn them into one. In addition, they will learn basic personal safety skills. Your child
must be able to stand with their head above water in 3 to 3 1/2 feet of water.
$240 / 12 games
Sea Horses: In this class children will coordinate the leg and arm actions of both the front and back
crawl. They are also introduced to the elementary backstroke and basic diving skills. They are also
taught additional safety skills.
Swordfish: In this class students develop confidence in the strokes that they have learned and improve on other aquatic skills. This is an endurance class and the children should begin to perfect
their skills. They are introduced to the breaststroke, sidestroke, and open turns.
Dolphins: The emphasis in this level is stroke coordination and refinement. Children will continue
to strengthen their endurance. Students are introduced to the butterfly, racing starts & turns, surface dives, and diving from the diving board.
Sharks: This level’s skill is varied depending on the students in the class. The main focus is to refine
and polish the student’s strokes so that they can swim with ease over a great distance. This class also
focuses on good fitness habits. Additionally, springboard diving skills are taught along with advance
safety and rescue skills.
Everyone participating needs to sign a liability waiver.
