About Seahorse
Seahorse is the first level of our pre-school program and the first time your child is in the water without you. Learning to swim can be a daunting experience when you are just starting, so these classes are kept to just two children for 20 minutes.
Children under five have a limited attention span, and a short, focused lesson with a lot of one-on-one time gets the best result.
What we work on
- Water awareness and safety: safe entries and exits, and staying near the edge
- Breath control: blowing bubbles and putting the face in the water
- Front and back floating with instructor support
- Kicking on the front and back with a kickboard
- Building the confidence to let go and try things on their own
Moving up
- Your child is happy to put their face in and float with light support
- They are ready for a longer 30 minute class with a couple more friends, in Turtles
