Beginner Group Lessons
Pre-Bubbler Class: Max Ratio = 1:4 Class Time: 30 min. Criteria: Potty trained, 4~8yo
This level is designed for first-time learn-to-swim students, who are new to group lessons in a swimming pool. PBUB students may still be afraid of the water or cry due to lack of confidence in water if their parents are not present. The goal of the PBUB class is to introduce the students to the swimming pool, help them get comfortable and relaxed in water, and help them enjoy water games and activities in a group environment. PBUB students will learn to follow simple instructions from a non-parent instructor, put their face in the water, and blow bubbles for 3-5 seconds with their googles on. The instructor will teach in the water.
