About Lessons

 Designed for children 6 months+ and able to sit up, unassisted, for longer than 5 seconds. This is a basic survival skill. Your child will learn to rotate, from any underwater position, into a basic back float. They will be taught to rest and breathe on their back until help arrives. A child who enrolls in the Infant Survival Float program as an infant will learn the correct posture for swimming early which will facilitate learning at the next level. 

Timeline: Typically, an infant will take approximately 15 to 20-- 10 minute lessons to attain these skills (4 days a week for 3 - 4 consecutive weeks). Registration is rolling so you can start any Monday where we have an open time spot.

Just like the swim float swim for toddlers, big kids are taught to utilize their cross-coordinated motion for movement through the water, however, this swim is more like a freestyle swim. He or she will be taught to swim face down with eyes open; roll on his or her back to take a floating breath or two when they need air; and then flip over onto their stomach to keep swimming. This swim-float-swim sequence can be repeated as many times as is necessary for fun and safety. This method easily transitions to a freestyle swim and teaches children not to "doggie-paddle" by using their muscle memory. 

Timeline: This skill set can be achieved in approximately 12 to 16 -- 10 minute lessons (4 days a week for 3 - 4 consecutive weeks). Registration is rolling so you can start any Monday where we have an open time spot.
