In the Seahorse level, the student-to-instructor ratio is [6:1], with one parent/caregiver with a child in the water.
Seahorse 1
In this class, children are introduced to water safety with the comfort of their parents nearby. Children learn essential water skills through engaging activities. They learn floating, light submersion, basic arm and leg movements, and sitting jumps, all while enjoying songs and games.
Skills:
• Supported back float
• Light submersion (sideways)
• Head submersion
• Introduction to front float
• Leg movements
• Assisted toy retrieval (surface, underwater)
• Sitting jumps (with support)
Seahorse 2
For this level, your child should be reaching the milestone of being ready to sit on the step without parental assistance. Our instructors will collaborate with parents initially, gradually transitioning to teaching the child independently. We're here to support every step of their swimming journey.
In this class, we mix elements from Seahorse 1 and Guppies 1 to provide a balanced experience. While there's less singing, the emphasis is on skill development. Parents remain in the water, but our instructors take a more hands-on approach to ensure effective learning.
Skills:
• Light face submersion
• Supported glide
• Rollovers and back floats
• Arm movements
• Assisted kicking
• Assisted jumps
When that goal is reached, the child can progress to Guppies. It's an exciting step in their swimming journey!
