Swimming Lesson Description & Requirements
The Starfish Swim program is designed to work with the child at their age & skill level. As a child completes a skill it will be checked off on their personal record
book. As an entire color is checked off the child will receive a certificate for completing all the levels of that color. Below are the descriptions for each age group. Please remember that children vary in their swimming skills just like they do in academics
and sports. The key to learning water safety and how to swim is continuous practice overtime for most children.
StarBabies (6 months-36 months)
The purpose of this course is to foster in very young children a high comfort level in the water while at the same time training parents and caregivers in water
safety and drowning prevention. This course does not teach children to become accomplished swimmers or to survive in the water; it does provide a confidence-building, fun, and loving experience. One parent or trusted caregiver must be in the water with each
child. Swim diapers are required.
Starfish Swim School for Preschoolers (3-5 yrs.)Designed to meet the needs of preschoolers, this course will develop a high comfort level in the water and a readiness to swim, and for those children who are
developmentally ready, it will teach beginning swim skills. This class approaches teaching swimming through creative, fun activities in the water. Students work toward developing the five core swimming competencies and receive a certificate for each color
stage achievement.
Starfish Swim School for Elementary (6-8 yrs.) and Primary School Ages (9-12 yrs.)
Students work toward development of the five core swimming competencies and receive color stage certificates for each achievement. The color stages are used to divide
students into broad ability groups. Children progress at individual rates with opportunity to learn the core swimming skills and progress to advanced strokes. Learning is self-paced but challenging.
Starfish Swim School for Teens (13-17 yrs.) & Adults (18 & up)
This course is designed to improve comfort and skill in the water, regardless of past swimming experience. It is perfect for adults who desire to learn or improve
strokes and water skills for fitness or fun. Students work toward developing the five basic core swimming competencies.
Starfish Stroke School (based on skill level)
Students refine freestyle and learn stroke technique for backstroke, breaststroke, butterfly, and more!
