In the Dolphin level, the students will be developing endurance and more technical skills to swim across the width of the pool independently. We will refine different strokes, breathing techniques, and continue to work on endurance. We will introduce some of the more complicated strokes also. Students enrolled in this level should be able to push off the wall on their front and back and be able to swim across the width of the pool (approximately 15 yards).

The Piranha group will expand on what the students learned in the Goldfish and Trout levels!

It is very important that the child be confident in the water to best progress in Piranha skills. We will be going over more complex movements in the water: incorporating side breathing, structured arm movements, forward and backward progression, and being more comfortable jumping into the water in all depths. To move up to Dolphin, they will need to be able to do both back stroke and front a short distance independently.
