Aquatics / School-Age Children Lessons

Taking the Next Stroke

Elementary-age kids learn technique, coordination, and control in the pool—mastering everything from basic water safety to competitive strokes and water sports.

What to Expect

Kids move through all seven skill-based levels as they grow stronger and more confident in the water—mastering skills like floating, treading, diving, and competitive strokes in guided classes.

As kids gain new skills—like floating, gliding, and treading water—they move up when they’re ready.
