Aqua Tots
Preschool Classes
Hello! We are thrilled to welcome you to Aqua Tots, where your kids become more comfortable and self-sufficient in the water. They will gradually improve their endurance and learn various strokes and kicks as they progress through our proven curriculum.
Each level has specific purposes and skills for progressing to the next. This ensures that advancement is natural, smooth, and safe. Instructors will work closely with your children to ensure they learn each necessary skill before moving on.
Transitioning between levels will take different lengths of time for different kids. Don’t worry! Your little sharks and fishes will get there in time when they are ready with our attentive and small class instruction. We are excited to share the Aqua Tots adventure with you and your family. So, let’s dive in!
Aqua Tots – Level 1
2-3 Years
Aqua Tots Level 1 classes are designed to help your child become independently comfortable in the water without relying on flotation aids.
Level 1 focuses on water adjustment and introduction to submersion. We aim to make children feel at ease in the water by teaching them about buoyancy, balance, submersion, and breath control. Students will acquire the foundational skills necessary to learn how to swim, including the ability to calmly go underwater.
A parent or guardian accompanies the child in the water for our Level 1 tot swim lessons to ensure the child feels safe and comfortable.
Aqua Tots – Level 2
2-3 Years
Prerequisite: The child must comfortably go underwater by themselves and lie in the water on both their tummy and back with help.
Aqua-Tots Level 2 swim classes focus on foundational swimming skills. Our goal is to reinforce breath control, introduce kicking, and teach self-sustained floating on both the back and tummy. Students will learn how to move through the water independently, turn around to return to the wall, kick with their faces submerged, retrieve objects from the bottom of the pool, and much more.
Aqua Tots – Level 3
2-3 Years
Prerequisite: The child must be able to float on both their front and back independently and to swim a distance of at least 8 feet comfortably.
Aqua Tots Level 3 focuses on helping students gain more autonomy in the water while increasing their stamina and swim distance. At this level, students will learn how to roll over from their stomachs to their backs to take an independent breath. They will be introduced to freestyle arm movements, elementary backstroke, breaststroke kicks, and dolphin kicks.
Aqua Tots – Level 4
2-3 Years
Prerequisite: The child must be able to roll over independently for a breath and comfortably swim a distance of 15 feet.
Aqua Tots Level 4 focuses on helping children transition from safely swimming with roll-over breathing to learning side breathing and stroke development. Proper breath control techniques are emphasized as students work on building endurance while learning freestyle with side breathing, full backstroke, and full elementary backstroke. Additionally, they will strengthen their breaststroke and butterfly techniques.
