SwimTots

Toddler Swim Lessons

Ages: 3 - 5 years

The SwimTots program is built on one basic idea. Preschoolers don’t learn according to a calendar or a lesson plan. They discover at their own pace and thrive in a fun and nurturing environment.

To achieve the goal of teaching your child to swim while developing a love for the water, SwimKids has devised a 10-level curriculum that follows your child’s ability level instead of locking them into a rigid plan.

As children master skills in small classes led by our expert instructors, they seamlessly move to the next level, unlocking a fun reward to celebrate their success.

Toddler Swim Lessons in Order of Progression

SwimTots Level 1 – 2

No experience in the water? No problem! Your preschooler will have tons of fun getting used to the water, learning pool safety, developing swimming skills, singing songs and playing games that will get them excited about the first building block of learning how to swim, going under water!

SwimTots Level 3

If your child is comfortable holding their breath, they are ready for SwimTots level 3. They will gain necessary independent swimming skills and learn to float, which prepares them to swim “on top” of the water!

SwimTots Level 4

When your preschooler can float like a boat, it’s time for SwimTots level 4. Students enjoy learning vital safety skills like bobs, treading water, rolling over and kicking. They develop foundational skills to prepare them for freestyle swimming.

SwimTots Level 5

Is your little swimmer kicking up a storm? They are ready to advance to SwimTots 5! At this level, students transition to learning to breathe while in water over their head as well as the long axis strokes. They learn how to add arm strokes to their expert kicking in both modified freestyle and backstroke swimming. They also get an easy and fun introductory butterfly skill which will have everyone laughing!

SwimTots Level 6 +

Your preschooler will become a strong and confident swimmer by working through the higher levels of the SwimTots system. Our expert instructors focus on teaching every young swimmer good technique and proper form. Before you know it, your swimmer will be streaking down the pool like a dolphin swimming butterfly, breaststroke, freestyle with side breathing and backstroke.

You’ve done it. Goodbye SwimTots. Hello, SwimKids!
