Pre-School Lessons Ages 3 to 5 years; no parent participation. Your children will advance through the three levels, outlined below as they progress. Register them for Pre-School, regardless of their level.
Starfish Children will develop positive attitudes and safe practices in the water and learn the most basic aquatic skills. They need to enter the water independently and travel at least five yards, submerge their mouth and blow bubbles for at least three seconds, glide on their fronts for at least two body lengths, roll onto their back, and float for three seconds, recovering to a standing position to pass to Seahorse.
Seahorse Seahorses build on the basic aquatic skills learned in Starfish, giving children further success performed to a slightly more advanced degree. Children must glide on their fronts for at least two body lengths, roll onto their back and float for five seconds, recover to a standing position, and swim for three body lengths using combined arm and leg action, to pass to Frog. Frog Frogs build on skills learned by providing additional guided practice at a more proficient performance level and greater distance. Skills in this level are performed independently. Children must be able to front float for five seconds, complete a back float for five seconds, recover to a vertical position, then push off and swim using combined arm and leg actions on front for five body lengths, roll onto their back and float for 15 seconds before passing into the Children’s Swim Lesson levels.
Children’s Swim Lessons Our Children’s Swim lessons are designed to meet the needs of children ages 6-15 with a wide range of abilities, from initial water adjustment to advanced skills and stroke refinement. Guppy Guppies learn basic personal water safety skills, good swimming habits, and safe practices in and around the water. Children must be able to glide on front for at least two body lengths, roll to a back float for three seconds and recover to a vertical position to pass to Sea Turtle. Sea Turtle Sea Turtles further develop simultaneous and alternating arm and leg actions on the front and back. Children must be able to move into a front float for five seconds, move into a back float for five seconds, roll to a front float recover to a vertical position, and push off and swim using combined arm and leg action for five body lengths to pass to Angelfish. Angelfish Angelfish work on coordinating front and back crawl. Scissor kicks, dolphin kicks, and the fundamentals of treading water are introduced. Children must be able to jump into deep water from the side, swim 15 yards of front crawl, maintain position by treading or floating for 30 seconds, and swim 15 yards of elementary backstroke to pass to Seal. Seal Seals focus on improving swimming skills and increasing endurance. We continue to build on the sidestroke and introduce breaststroke and butterfly, along with the basics of turning at a wall.
Dolphin Dolphins emphasize stroke performance and refinement while increasing distances. Flip turns are introduced. Children must be able to swim 50 yards of front crawl and elementary backstroke, 25 yards of breaststroke and back crawl to pass to Shark. Shark Sharks refine their strokes and learn to swim with more ease, proficiency, power, and finesse over greater distances. Children must be able to swim a 500-yard continuous swim, using three strokes of their choice, and perform a 10-minute swim test to pass out of Shark.
Kids Pre-Team
Mission Bay only
This introduction to competitive swimming is designed for children who have graduated from the UCSF swim lesson program (must have Dolphin skills or better).
