SURVIVAL FLOAT

Babies 6 to 12 months old are very active and surprisingly quick! The Survival Float program introduces the correct floating posture for survival as well as the skills necessary to maneuver into a float. Babies learn quickly from their physical environment. This is how they learn to crawl and walk.  These skills will be practiced for complete mastery even while fully clothed with diaper and shoes. All lessons are taught one-on-one for a period of 10 minutes. Approximate class length: 3-4 weeks.


SWIM-FLOAT-SWIM

The Swim-Float-Swim program encompasses the skills necessary for a child to reach the steps, edge of the pool or shore.  This includes swimming and floating.  This process begins with teaching the child breath control and the skills to turn around in the water to grab the edge.  As the child becomes capable of longer swims the survival float is taught so the child can rest and breathe, and then continue swimming.  This sequence can be repeated indefinitely until the child reaches safety.  These skills will be practiced for complete mastery even while fully clothed with shoes and diaper for those not toilet trained.  All lessons are taught one-on-one for a period of 10 minutes.  Approximate class length: 5-6 weeks.


REFRESHER LESSONS

Almost every parent asks if their baby or young child will really remember what they have learned.  The answer is "yes."  Refresher lessons are important, however, because as your children grow the proportions of their bodies change significantly.  The purpose of Refresher lessons is to allow the child to practice the already learned skills with his or her new body and new set of emotions.  This also provides the instructor an opportunity to observe and correct any "bad habits" that may have been learned.  All lessons are taught one-on-one for a period of 10 minutes.
