ADAPTIVE GROUP CLASSES


Minnows & Mommas - Adaptive Parent Assist

Minnows and their Mommas or Daddies

$38.50 for 5 forty-five minute clinics

Our little swimmers can really benefit from working in the water. This can jump start gross motor development and support gross motor improvement on the road to jumping and walking.  Using the warm, quiet pool and river at the Bethesda Park Aquatic Center in Lawrenceville GA, our little swimmers get used to the water, the reality of flotation and learning to "find their feet" in an aquatic enviroment they don't understand. The sooner the better!  Minnows is offered in the Spring/Summer and Fall.


Level A/SAFETY Groups

Matched by readiness and roadblocks

$38.50 for 5 forty-five minute classes

We all know how long it can take to really make the jump to being safe in the water.  Our little swimmers need patience and incremental steps in this process.  We offer groups of  3-4 with parents to help our swimmers "just keep swimming" and to foster family relationships and the chance to practice. Swimming is no different than learning to walk. The journey is a marathon NOT a sprint. Groups are formed as our swimmers become ready.  Start out in private lessons, move to semi-private and on to 


Level B/PROFICIENCY Groups

Matched by readiness and roadblocks

$38.50 for 5 forty-five minute classes

Our swimmers take more time. Parents often can be the key, especially with older swimmers who didn't start their swimming journey until they were 10 or older. Having an angelfish's "person" in the water, learning how to work with their swimmers, learning techniques from one of us and having so much fun along the way is a great way to "just keep swimming". 

Swimming is a lifelong skill and critical for our angelfish.
