Our Curriculum
Flying Fish will teach a skill-based acquisition curriculum. After your child displays a mastery of skills from one level, they will immediately be introduced and taught the next level of skills. On your child's first day of lessons an evaluation will occur and we will quickly have your child placed at the correct level.
Baby Tadpole
6:1 ratio / 30 minutes
Ages 6 months – 12 months
This course is designed to introduce the youngest of swimmers to the water. In this class swimmer and parent will engage in several activities to have fun in the water and teach babies to hold their breath. Eventually baby will learn to blow bubbles as well as assisted front and back floats
Parent Tadpole 1
6:1 ratio / 30 minutes
Ages 1 year – 2 years
This course is designed to develop more independent floating and overall swimming skills. We continue to build comfort in the water with song and play as swimmers learn to be more independent in the water.
Parent Tadpole 2
6:1 ratio / 30 minutes
Ages 2 years – 3 years
This course is designed for more advanced young swimmers. In this course we work to develop independent skills. These skills include independently floating, submerging and climbing out of the pool. This course also explores separation between parent and swimmer. Another goal of this course is to confidently attend a class with parent out of the water.
