If you are unsure where your child fits into the levels, please sign-up for the level slightly under his/her abilities and that is the closest to the age group he/she is in. In an event where the child is miss-placed, your child's instructor will discuss options to determine where he/she fits best. Very rare is the case where a child needs to be moved to a different level during the session. The instructor will make appropriate changes as needed to ensure your child is in the class that suits his or her needs best. Spiders: Ages 4 months-2 years, A parent involved water orientation class. Early exposure ensures a smooth transition to both instruction and basic water skills. Over time, your young swimmer will demonstrate confidence and security in and around the water. This class is a great way to introduce water play and safety. Contact Anitra for interest 15-30 minutes. Waterbugs: Ages 15 months-2 years, A instructor taught toddler swim class. Parent's are asked to not be present during the first few lessons for water orientation and adjustment period. Parent can view the class through windows and family seating area. This class is set up for only 3 participants per class. Water Orientation and Comfort is the primary goal. Several under water skills will be introduced once the child is comfortable with instructor. Basic lesson following rules will be established through out the lesson. Class starts at a 15 minute time and gradually increases to 30 minutes. Ducklings: Ages 2-4 yrs, These children have No or Little swimming experience prior to entering this class. They are not yet independent in the water (not doggie padding) and may or may not be comfortable when face is wet. It is normal for some these children to demonstrate both fears of the water and separation from their parents. These children will need extra support and patiences for water introduction, please allow the instructor time to help your child adjust to the new environment. 30 minutes. Tadpoles: Ages 3-5 yrs, These children should be comfortable in the water with their face submerged and should be able to swim about 5 feet independently, (Not required to perform stroke technique). They should be able to kick on their back while assisted, some maybe able to float unassisted for a short period of time. These swimmers should be able to remain on the pool wall (in the water) while taking turns and be able to follow all safety directions. 30 minutes.

They are comfortable in the deep end of the pool and have no problems jumping and attempting dives. This group of swimmer is not yet ready for Crocs level because they have not yet mastered rotary breathing for more than a full lap but can demonstrate this skill. Frogs class will jump these swimmers up to a 45 minute class that will help these swimmers build stamina for endurance swimming. This class is a suitable alternative to the early day swim team environment because this class is offered in the later hours of the day.

You must have your swimmer evaluated to join in this group by an instructor. We allow 6 swimmers in Frogs. Gators: Ages 5-10 yrs, These children are new to swim lessons or have yet become comfortable in and around the water.
