FIRST FLIPPERS (Adult Participation, Ages 3 – 5 months)
First Flippers is a special class designed just for our youngest swimmers, ages 3 to 5 months, and their grown-ups. Whether you’re a parent, grandparent, or primary caretaker, you’ll enjoy meaningful bonding time while gently introducing your baby to the water in a warm, welcoming environment.
Through songs, games, and guided activities, you’ll learn how to help your baby adjust to the water and discover the many benefits of starting swim lessons early. It’s a joyful first splash for both you and your little one!
Effective September 1st: Tuition for First Flippers remains free, but a $35 registration fee will apply per student.
LITTLE FLIPPERS (Adult Participation, Ages 6 – 36 months)
Our Little Flippers program is a fun and supportive way to help infants and toddlers (ages 6 to 36 months) build water confidence and swimming readiness alongside their parent, grandparent, or primary caretaker.
These classes focus on creating joyful first experiences in the water through songs, games, and colorful props. Adults are guided in helping their child learn early swim skills while easing into a new environment and getting comfortable with new instructors.
We offer three age-based groupings within the Little Flippers program, and some classes may be combined based on enrollment.
Effective September 1st: Tuition for First Flippers remains free, but a $35 registration fee will apply per student.
SWIMSTARS TRANSITIONAL (Independent Class, 2 – 3 years old)
Swimstars Transitional is designed for 2 year olds ready to transition away from a parent and participate in an independent class. At this stage, more advanced skills are taught and an emphasis is put on expanding breath control, floating and independence. Along with more advanced techniques comes even more emphasis on safety skills. Often, the transition to a class without a parent may be challenging, so for that reason, one adult can come dressed to swim. It may not always be necessary for the adult to enter the water, however our deck supervisor may ask you to walk the student to class and/or observe from the pool deck to briefly help with the transition.
SWIMSTARS PREP (Independent Class, 2 – 3 years old)
Our Swimstars Prep classes are designed for children to have marked improvements in breath control, floating on the front and back and independent swimming! In order to participate, your child must be two years old and able to attend class without a parent or caregiver. We strongly recommend that they have participated in at least one session of Swim Stars Transitional.
