Baby’s first experience in a structured class environment.  This class is taught to Parents and Baby together to introduce Baby to an aquatic environment with a gentle and gradual progression.  Babies will learn to breath control, kicking, arms and floating through a variety of games and songs promoting simulation of swimming movements.

  • Prerequisites: None.
  • Parents/Baby to 1 Instructor. 

Instructors work directly with toddlers in our smallest group setting to gain independence from parents.  They will learn to respect the water and follow instructions by repetitive cues.  Swimmers will be gently introduced to floating, leg kicks, arm action, and safe pool entries and exists.  Swimmers will work towards floating unassisted on their front and back for 5 seconds and swim independently 5 feet with their own propulsion. 

  • Prerequisite: All students must be able to take instruction and work in a controlled environment.
  • 2-year-olds must have gone through Exploration previously or have MGRSS management approval to ensure readiness and swimmer safety. 
  • Instructor Ratio:  3 Swimmers to 1 Instructor.

Swimmers will be gently introduced to floating, leg kicks, arm action, safe pool entries and safe exists.  Bubblemakers will work towards floating unassisted on their front and back for 5 seconds and swim independently 5 feet with their own propulsion.  . Our foundation of learning front crawl and a safety skill called the rollover breath is introduced in this level. 

  • Prerequisite:  None. 
  • Instructor Ratio:  3 Swimmers to 1 Instructor

Elementary Age Beginner swimmers will learn with others their age and ability.  Swimmers will work to gain confidence and independence by first learning buoyancy and unassisted floating.  Class will progress into learning the basics of the Front Crawl and Back Stroke.  Swimmers will learn basic water survival skills and will be introduced to the Elementary Back Stroke.  The goal of this class is to swim 12.5 meters unassisted with at least one independent breath or utilizing the roll over breath technique.

  •   Prerequisite:  None.
  •  Instructor Ratio:  3 Swimmers to 1 Instructor.

Intermediate Classes

Students will learn independent breathing and build on their Beginner Front Crawl Stroke and Beginner Back Stroke. Students learn basic water survival skills and will be introduced to the Elementary Back Stroke.  The goal of this class is to swim 12.5 meters unassisted with at least one independent breath or utilizing the roll over breath technique.

Advanced Classes

Swimmers are introduced to conditioning swims in Advanced Front Crawl Stroke, Breast Stroke, and Back Stroke while working on refinement of technique. Aquamaster swimmers are given introductions to the Butterfly Stroke, Side Stroke and Flip-turns.  These swimmers are working towards a continuous 50 meter swim of the front crawl, backstroke and breaststroke demonstrating advanced technique.  In addition, they are working towards mastery of the butterfly kick as a foundation for learning the timing of this advanced stroke. 

  • Prerequisites: Completion of Waverunner or equivalent experience.
  • Instructor Ratio: 3 Swimmers to 1 Instructor.

Students will fine tune the mental and physical challenges of conditioning swims with advanced technique. Students will learn competitive technique for the Butterfly Stroke, Back Stroke, Breast Stroke and Front Crawl Stroke.  Swimmers will learn basic life saving techniques. Swimmers are working towards the ability to swim a continuous 500 meters of advanced Front Crawl, Breast Stroke and Backstroke. Additionally, they are working towards demonstrating advanced Butterfly Stroke, Open Turns and Flip Turns. 

  • Prerequisites: Completion of Aquamaster or equivalent experience. Must be able to swim 50 meters of the Front Crawl, Back Stroke, Breast Stroke demonstrating advanced technique. Must be able to demonstrate proper Butterfly kick and basics of Butterfly timing.
