This class is designed for 4 year olds and other new swimmers in the program. Participants work on basic elementary swimming skills in a fun, game-oriented class. Students usually wear a bubble until the instructor is confident that they are ready to swim without such aids. Children in this level are paired with an instructor and can progress at their own pace within the larger group. They work on becoming confident swimmers in the deep and shallow water while wearing flotation.

They complete the Cooper Swim at the beginning and end of the summer to test their progress. More advanced life guarding and competitive swimming skills will also be taught. Swimmers must log at least eight miles to pass this class.
