About Lessons

Designed for babies and toddlers 6 months and older who are able to remain seated upright for 5 seconds or longer (when placed in that position). 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.

 Includes Survival Float - 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.
