3 & 4 Year Old Students:

Group lessons are conducted in our smaller pool for all 3 and 4 year old students. Students are grouped by age in a class of up to 10 students, with two instructors. All of our instructors are Lifeguard, First Aid, and CPR/AED Certified. Many of these instructors are seasoned employees who are specifically hand picked to teach our younger age groups. In addition to your child’s instructors, we also have small pool assistant instructors who aid our 3 and 4 year old teachers throughout the duration of camp. These girls are pool side during lessons and will assist with absolutely anything during your child’s lessons. Our little pool assistants will take your child to and from the bathroom during a lesson, preventing the main instructors from having to exit the pool during a group lesson. 1 or 2 supervisors are always present and poolside during camp operating hours. Our small pool has 2 lifeguards on duty exclusively acting as lifeguards, not swim instructors.

Our 3 and 4 year olds will learn basic freestyle and water safty techniques. During the first week of your child’s enrollment we plan to build trust with your child, have them feel comfortable putting their face in the water, kicking their feet on top of the water, and blowing bubbles properly out of their nose and mouth. This week will be very repetitive as we hope to build confidence and continuously practice basic skills. During your child’s second week is when you will see freestyle progression and more confidence. Students will start to swim in between their two instructors and some students will be introduced to breathing techniques. Water safety drills and techniques will be introduced and taught on Wednesdays and Fridays during your child’s enrollment. Each Thursday our 3 and 4 year old classes will have one lesson in our big pool and have the OPTION to jump from our diving blocks. 3 and 4 year old students are required to attend for our minimum two week, half day enrollment and ARE NOT eligible for a full day enrollment period.

Out of pool time: Our 3 and 4 year old students spend their out of pool time in our sandbox area. Every half hour students will rotate between a 30 minute swim lesson and a 30 minute sandbox session. This unstructured out of pool time gives students a break in between lessons.

3/4 Movie Room: Our 3 and 4 year olds have their own specific movie room for rainy days. We will show age appropriate movies and shows from Disney + when students are making use of our indoor movie rooms. These climate controlled buildings are equipped with air conditioning and heat for hot or cold days. Students are supervised by their two instructors and grouped with their class when using our movie rooms.
