Turtle (2 - 5 years)
Where Little Swimmers Grow Strong
The Turtle levels are designed for children aged 2 to 5 years who are learning to swim independently with a certified instructor. These one-on-one lessons focus on developing essential survival skills in a safe, supportive, and playful environment.
At this stage, swimmers begin learning how to float on their backs, tread water, hold their breath underwater, and use basic kicks and arm movements to move through the water. These skills are the foundation for both water safety and future swimming ability.
