These lessons are for younger, non-swimming children or new swimmers who still need assistance in the water. An instructor will be on the deck while a parent/guardian is in the water with their child. Social distancing will be emphasized with each parent and child pair having a location in the pool. The instructor will give both parents and children lessons to follow with tips and tricks for swimming. For younger, non-swimming children the emphasis will be on water comfort and exploration. The goal will be to gain confidence to try skills with, and eventually, without a parents help (equivalent of pre level 1 and level 1). For older children with basic swimming skills, instructors will give advice on how to teach and learn strokes, and give techniques to both the parent and the child for improvement(equivalent of level 2 and 3). To advance to the next level, swimmers must be confident swimming in deep water without support 15 yards on both front and back.

Swimmer will be spaced out in the diving well and must be confident swimming alone in deep water as the instructor will be teaching from the deck while swimmers are in the water learning strokes. Children who are not strong enough swimmers will be removed from this class. To advance to the next level, swimmers must jump into deep water with recovery, swim freestyle and back stroke for 15 yards, elementary backstroke, dolphin kick and be able to do a squat dive.
