Building Skills on Land and in the Water: As toddlers and young children grow stronger on land, they're ready to take their abilities to the water.
Mastering a Life-Saving Sequence: Lessons equip children to swim short distances, roll onto their back to float and breathe, then turn back over to repeat the swim-and-float cycle until they reach safety—whether it's the pool steps, the edge, or the shoreline.
Confidence and Safety in Every Stroke: These critical skills not only protect your child but also build their confidence, ensuring they’re ready for any aquatic environment.

Keep Skills Sharp: As your child grows, their Self-Rescue skills need to grow with them. Rapid changes in strength, coordination, and cognitive ability mean periodic refresher lessons are key to maintaining their life-saving skills.
Adapt to Every Stage of Development: From infants to toddlers and beyond, refresher lessons ensure your child’s skills stay in step with their physical and mental growth, building confidence and competence in the water.
Life-Saving Skills That Grow with Your Child: By revisiting lessons regularly, your child will continue to strengthen and refine their abilities, keeping them ready for any aquatic situation.
