Check Out Our Adventure
Twelve sea-creature levels take your child from their very first splash to squad training. Children always know which level they are on and what comes next — and so do you.
Tadpole
This class is designed for babies aged 4-6 months of age. They are building on water familiarity and water confidence.
Starfish
Aged 6 months to 18 months, they are learning to kick and paddle, to turn around and find a safe exit, float and monkey around the edge of the pool with lots of support.
Penguin
Aged 18 months to 3 years. Children paddle and kick a short distance and are becoming more independent; with this independence comes less assistance. We are still focusing on water safety in this level.
Goldfish
This class is designed for children who are nervous, fearful, have had a bad experience or just don’t like putting their head under the water.
Jellyfish
In this level children are learning to kick and paddle, to turn around and find a safe exit, float and monkey around the edge of the pool with as much or as little support as needed.
Turtle
Working “flutter kick” and streamline unassisted. Long paddles and kicks with strong breath control, able to get a breath unsupported and big round arms and back kicking.
Dolphin
