The Oasis · Bloomingdale, IL
An introduction to swimming directed toward improving the child’s comfort level in water while learning basic water skills such as blowing bubbles, submerging face, retrieving objects submerged in shallow water, and water safety. Participants sing songs and play games to become more comfortable in the water while becoming familiar with trust and comfort, body position, submersion, air recovery, rollover, forward movement, wearing a lifejacket, and entering/exiting the pool safely. This course does not teach children to become accomplished swimmers or to survive in the water; it does provide a confidence-building, fun, and loving experience for tots! Average age: 3-4 years. Sessions include 8 classes and 2 makeup dates that will be used if one of the 8 classes is cancelled due to inclement weather.
