Seal

Little Seal Lion Level adaptation:
Adaptation with the aquatic environment and the instructor.

Turtle Level 1

At the level of Little Baby Turtles, you must be very careful and work very slowly to allow time for the baby to acclimate to the temperature of water, your pool and your instructor, the work must be shared with his father and/ or mother to achieve the highest level of trust with the instructor and the aquatic environment. Kicking motion and breast stroke exercises are performed outside of the pool through repetitions to develop the motor skills. 5 minutes of stimulation massages on the arms, legs, and the rest of the body with creams or with sunscreen to relax and improve circulation.

 

Baby Sea Star Level 2

In this level, we help babies feel more confident in the water, at level # 2 the baby should be adapted with the environment and with everything related to the pool. The approach at this level is to start doing all exercises especially the kick and buoyancy dive through the use of playtime and toys. 

 

Baby Seahorse Level 3

At this level the baby must be prepared to perform the same exercises of the Little Baby Star but at an intermediate level where you are given the opportunity for the baby to explore their skills with the aquatic environment, in this level students are taught to hold the edges of the pool to get in and out of the water by themselves.

 

Baby Octopus Level 4

This name is very successful in teaching babies, babies become a real octopus, wanting to grab everything and with no fear in the water. This is a worrying stage because they think they already know how to swim and that's when accidents happen, in this level it is crucial teach them kicking exercises in different positions. face up and face down with the floater. Exercises such as buoyancy face up and face down star fetal position etc. Jumping exercise alone Arrow swimming exercise by themselves in 5-6 feet in length with help of hands to breath (puppy swimming), kick in back exercise alone (you can help to sway with hands). 

 

Baby Dolphins Level 5

This name is very fitting in this level, the baby should have covered the stage of aquatic skills and become a real "dolphin." This stage teaches continuous breathing exercises 15-20 repetitions (bubbles) kicking drills in different positions by themselves, exercises dipping and diving without any breathing problem, path 10-15 feet in length by themselves in arrow swimming position face up face down. Start inlet and outlet water (diving) and back. 

 

Baby Shark Level 6

At this level the student is ready to move into levels of older children 3 years and up, to start developing freestyle and backstroke techniques. Upon completion of this level the baby is ready to start the level number two Seahorse, our advanced program for children ages 3 and older starting with more advanced techniques such as freestyle and backstroke.
