Tadpoles: Introduction to Swimming for Toddlers Ages 5-6 (must be accompanied by guardian in pool)

In this course, our aim is to acquaint parents and children with essential swimming skills, emphasizing safety as a priority. These skills encompass becoming comfortable in the water environment, introducing both front and back positions while in the water, and a variety of techniques such as entering the water, exhaling bubbles while at the surface, exploring underwater, perfecting front and back floats and glides, executing leg movements on both the front and back, and much more.

Note: Children must be accompanied in the water by a parent or guardian.
