Focus is on enhancing aquatic skills already learned with a parent or trusted adult in the water for continued support and encouragement. Fundamental aquatic skills are progressed to include voluntary submerging, holding the breath under water, combining paddling of arms and kicking of legs for movement through the water independently, entering and exiting the water unassisted, jumping in the water and returning to the wall unassisted, swimming from parent to instructor and parent to wall independently, assisted and unassisted back floating and introduction of swim float swim technique.

Children must wear swim diapers if not yet potty trained. This is not an infant survival course.
