Four and five year old children have significantly more coordination than three-year-olds. (And they should. After all, they’re 33% to 66% older!). But they are still in relatively early stages of cognitive and co-ordinate development.
Our program for four and five-year-olds is designed to meet them at their level of development:
- To create the trust relationship so crucial to teaching anyone to swim
- To engage them in swimming as a fun and rewarding activity
- To introduce them to and help them master the water safety awareness and in-water skills that every child should have.
- Lessons are 30 minutes long
We offer four levels of lessons to four and five-year-olds:
Jellyfish 1
Brand new to swim lessons. May have some fear of participating in lessons.
Jellyfish 2
No fear of participating in swim lessons. Can float(relaxed body position) on front and back independently, submerge and blow bubbles (with assistance), can kick independently on front and back.
Jellyfish 3
Can independently roll over float, perform deep water bob and move to shallow water, swim face in w/ scooping arms 15 ft, can self rescue.
Jellyfish 4
For swimmers 5 yrs old that have completed Jellyfish 3 but not yet 6 yrs of age. This level must be registered for directly with the swim desk staff.
