This class is designed for students with minimal swimming experience and independence in the water.
Upon completion of this level, children will have accomplished:
- Underwater swim, 7-10 feet
- Children will learn to move their bodies and properly propel themselves down.
- Children will learn to touch the bottom or pick up toys.
- Otterly-Calm Float for 5 seconds, then, roll over to independent back float
- Children learn to calmly float on their bellies and roll to their backs. This skill teaches children how to safely take a breath on their backs.
- Swim 15 feet with assisted pop-up breath
- Children work on proper kicks while learning how to pop up and breathe.
- Swim 15 feet with an assisted Otter Roll
- Swim 25 feet taking 1-3 breaths
- This is the final skill of the level. Children will productively kick to 25 feet with the understanding of when to take a breath, with little to no help from the instructor.
