LIQUID BUBBLES
Group Classes for Children Ages 2.5-10 Years Old
Learning to swim can be one of childhood's most rewarding experiences and is a necessary life skill for safety and fun in and around the water! Our Liquid Bubbles® Learn-to-Swim Program is designed for children aged 2.5-10 years old. Our curriculum uses a proven, progressive approach, based upon decades of experiences and with results that are tangible. Designed to teach proper and EFFICIENT swimming movements from the start we can progress skills faster and smarter! Using developmentally appropriate, child-friendly skill activities, our step-by-step teaching style makes learning fun and sets the foundation for a lifetime of swimming enjoyment and proficiency!
All of our Liquid Bubbles group classes are set to a maximum capacity of only 2 swimmers per coach so we can give full attention to the unique needs of our beginner level swimmers. There are no pre-determined number of sessions per level, so each child can “move-up” at the exact right time when he or she is ready. This flexibility allows for advancement based upon the demonstrated skill and comfort of each child and promotes EXCELLENCE rather than mediocrity.
By improving the way swimming is taught and practiced, Liquid Lifestyles® produces results far faster and develops skills that will last a lifetime.
Liquid Bubbles has 3 Levels. Which one is right for me?
Liquid Bubbles 1
LB-1 / Age 2.5-4 yrs. or LB-1 / Age 5-10 yrs.
For children with no prior swimming experience, or who show resistance and have anxiety around the water, our Liquid Bubbles® 1 level is the right start. Using interactive games and engaging pool toys, our instructors encourage aquatic COMFORT and basic swimming skills by first creating positive engagement with the water. Safety techniques, potentially life-saving maneuvers and the primary swimming skills of breath control, buoyancy and propulsion are reinforced during every activity.
PREREQUISITES:
Can sit safely and unassisted on the pool edge while waiting for their turn
Has the physical capacity to support oneself in the water while holding onto the pool edge
*Please consider our Baby Bubbles™ classes or Private Lessons if your child does not meet ALL of the above requirements
Liquid Bubbles 2
LB-2 / Age 2.5-4 yrs. or LB-2 / Age 5-10 yrs.
If your child loves the water, comfortably floats and can swim short distances with their face in the water, then consider our Liquid Bubbles® 2 class level. Using targeted exercises that develop foundational swimming skills your child will learn to work WITH water’s natural forces to experience INDEPENDENCE and gain confidence in a variety of key swimming and safety positions. Curriculum emphasis is placed on improving breath management and underwater swimming skills, developing effective propulsion and balancing techniques and encouraging proper air exchange during the “rollover” and “pop-up” exercises.
PREREQUISITES:
Demonstrate consistent underwater breath control
Retrieve dive toys 36” deep with minimal assistance (no cap/goggles, eyes open)
Can comfortably back float and front float for 10 seconds unassisted
Safely and independently jump from pool edge (with complete submersion) and short return swim back to the wall unassisted (no cap/goggles, eyes open)
Liquid Bubbles 3
LB-3 / Age 5-10 yrs.
For children who already demonstrate swimming independence and safety techniques and are ready for Liquid Bubbles® 3. We believe the best way for a child to prepare for a lifetime of sustained swimming proficiency is to introduce CONTROLLED MOVEMENTS from the start. With a fun, yet disciplined approach, we introduce propulsive above-water arm movements, instill proper breathing habits and promote effective balance techniques. Fundamental safety swims, increased underwater skill development and foundational drill progressions will set the stage for effective, life-long swimming enjoyment.
PREREQUISITES:
Independent retrieval of dive toys from a surface dive (minimum depth of 4’) and return swim to wall (no cap/goggles, eyes open)
Can swim full length of the pool (25 yards) without rest and using sustainable breathing techniques
Displays functional kick on the stomach and back with good balance and alignment
Comfortably tread water for a minimum of 30 seconds (without floatation) with ears and mouth above the surface
