Preschool Levels
(Ages: 3-5 )
Turtles
An introductory un-parented level focusing on comfort and safe exploration of the water. To complete the level children will be comfortable with submerging their face, blowing bubbles, back floats and glides with assistance.
Guppies
By the end of this beginner level swimmers will successfully float and glide on their front and back without assistance. As well, they should be able to swim 3m independently.
Dolphins
Gaining further independence by working on unassisted roll-over glides, side glides, as well as increasing the distance beyond 3m for unassisted swimming.
Sharks
Working on deep water skills such as safe surface support and an introduction to diving. Coordination is further challenged in this level by practicing front / back / side glide combinations, and swimming 5m unassisted.
Octopus
Children are preparing to join the Swim Kids levels. Basic recognition and rescue skills are introduced. Swimmers perfect their glide combinations over greater distances, as well as practice putting all the skills together in front crawl stroke over 10m.
