Guppy

Ages 2 ½ -4 years

2-Week Everyday Session

The number one goal for our little guppies is comfort in the water.
We know that kids learn when they feel safe, loved, and are having fun. The benefit to coming everyday helps students get over separation anxiety and help instill trust in their instructor and our program. In our Guppy classes, we spend lots of time building trust, boosting confidence, laughing, singing, being silly, and having fun. While doing all of these things, we also integrate safety skills such as listening skills, the safer way to climb in and out of the pool, back floats, how to roll over, and what to do if you fall in the water. We also teach basic swimming skills such as breath control, kicks, correct body position, and buoyancy. By the time our sweet guppies finish their session, we want them to be happy and comfortable in the water.

Guppy is a 2-Week Everyday Session that meets Monday through Friday.
