Minnows & Me
(M&M)
Age 3 months to 36 months
Our Minnows and Me programs are a great way to spend time
with and learn about the water together. For your child, the M&M
classes are great fun. For you, M&M classes will be a wonderful
way to take advantage of some one-on-one time with your child
and learn safe, loving techniques of enjoying the water with
your young child as well as strengthening your relationship. And
for us, we know the M&M classes are an outstanding way to help
your child, at a young age, associate water with pleasure and
fun (rather than fear and anxiety), in order to develop a
life-long respect and love of the water. We offer Parent/Child
Transition classes, M&MT, for children and parents ages 3 to 4
years who are not quite ready to swim without their parent.

Rainbow Fish
– Preschool
Age 3 years to 5 years
Our Rainbow Fish program is designed for children, age
3-years to 5 years, who are ready for a water experience without
a parent. While safety and fun are our main focus, we instill in
each level an importance for great technique in all skills
taught In the Rainbow Fish program. Students may have little or
no experience with the water and will be taught water adaptation
skills: putting their face in the water, assisted floating,
assisted kicking, breath holding, etc. The goal is for the
children to acquire many skills unassisted in the water. A
ribbon or sticker level will follow the colors of the rainbow
(ROYGBIVSG) (low skill to high skill). At the final (G) GOLD,
your child will be ready to join our Sea Critters program at
about Level 4.
