We use the PediaSwim and Infant Aquatics program. PediaSwim is a unique learn to swim program with early emphasis on swimming and floating independently.

Once a child can crawl, they are able to learn to roll over and float. They will be taught to roll onto their backs to a safe and balanced float. Crawling puts them at risk to find an unattended body of water. Once they have learned to roll over and float, they can float and await rescue. According to the CDC, the highest risk of drowning is between the ages 1-4. Learning early is essential.
Once a child can walk they are taught the swim float swim sequence. The swim float swim sequence starts by learning to float and a small swim. Once a small swim is developed with proper head down posture and feet kicking at the surface then they can roll to a balanced float to rest and breathe. After a rest they can flip back over to swim to safety. With practice, they can swim longer distances using the swim float swim sequence.

Survival swimming lessons provide children with the essential skills to survival an unexpected fall into the water. They provide improved, increased confidence and reduced fear of water. Studies show that children who learn to swim at an early age, master a wide range of skills compared to their peers.
