Puffers
6 - 12 year olds
This is a beginner swim class designed for the nervous swimmer or very beginner. These ages tend to have more fear of the water because they have not learned how to swim and are a little older. We understand that and work on being safe in the water and not scared of it. We will work on submersions and back floats while assisting the child to feel comfortable and safe in the water. The foundation of streamlining will be introduced. We also work on building confidence in and around the water and encourage the swimmers to have some fun in the pool. Class limit: 4
The Goals of a Puffers Class:
- Develop a high comfort level underwater
- Independently swim a short distance in a relaxed state
- Master a turn-around swim
- Develop a relaxed back position
The requirements to move to a Puffers class are: Relaxed Freestyle swim; float independently three to five feet; back floating with minimal assistance; and be able to demonstrate a safety swim. |
