Level Descriptions

Starfish

5 - 10 months

This beginner level introduces babies to the water in a gentle, supportive way while strengthening the parent–child bond. The focus is on water acclimation, trust, and early comfort in the pool. Babies explore buoyancy and breath control through playful activities such as kicking and splashing, chasing toys in a supported float position, and simple floating exercises. Foundational skills like early gripping and breath control are developed within a consistent routine that promotes security and confidence. Once breath control is established, gentle submersions are also introduced.

Seahorses

10 - 16 months

This level focuses on building water comfort and confidence while introducing the foundations of baby swimming. Babies explore buoyancy, breath control, and early underwater skills, including submersions, free floats (when ready), and beginner turns. They practice floating between adults, retrieving objects, finding the wall, and developing independent gripping. Safety responses such as wall holds and word-action association are gently introduced. Activities are designed for little ones who are beginning to crawl or stand, supporting both comfort and early independence in the water.

Tadpoles

16 - 24 months (Level 1)

Like starfish, this level focuses on building water comfort and confidence while introducing the foundations of baby swimming. Babies explore buoyancy, breath control, and early underwater skills, including submersions, free floats (when ready), and beginner turns. They practice floating between adults, retrieving objects, finding the wall, and developing independent gripping. Safety responses such as wall holds and word-action association are gently introduced. Activities are designed for babies who have not yet become comfortable putting their head underwater.

Frogs

16 - 24 months (Level 2)

Pre requisite:  Comfortable with submersions and started free floats 

Focus: This level focuses on building water confidence and independence. Key skills include extending to longer submersions, developing independent propulsion (kicking and paddling), turning to and swimming from the wall, longer floating, retrieving objects from shallow to deeper water. Children learn to hold onto the pool side without support, make progress toward rotating to and following parents underwater, and become more comfortable with breath control. They practice independent propulsion with some babies beginning to master unassisted swimming and underwater rotations. Overall, the aim is to foster confidence, safety, and basic aquatic skills.

Leapfrogs

24 - 36 months

At this stage, toddlers are curious, independent, and full of personality! The goal with this group is to nurture a love of the water while teaching boundaries, safety, and respect. We practice key water skills such as climbing in and out of the pool, finding the wall, assisted and independent floating, and assisted and independent kicking, all through activities designed to build comfort and confidence in the water. Fun games and playful exercises are incorporated to keep them engaged and enjoying their time in the pool. Once breath control and floating are mastered, focus shifts to independent propulsion, helping children develop the skills to move confidently while still under close adult supervision. Another goal of this age group is to prepare them for group lessons.
