How to choose what class to register for:

White Class – My child is not comfortable in the water, will not put face in the water. The only goal of this level is to get student comfortable in the water,

Red Class – My child is comfortable with water in his/her face. My child will enter the pool with or without assistance comfortably, but can not float or move in the water independently.

Yellow Class – My child is not afraid of the water and can float. My child can jump into the pool and return to the surface unassisted.

Blue Class – My child can swim underwater or on the surface for at least 3 yards. He/she can take a breath and continue forward motion or change direction.

Green Class – My child can swim with rotaty arms (freestyle) and take side breaths for at least 10 yards. He/she can tread water for at least 15 seconds.

Stroke School – My child can swim freestyle with alternating breaths for 25 yards, can tread water for 60 seconds. He/she is ready to learn additional strokes and swim for exercise.

Starfish Swim School®

Students work toward the development of the five core swimming competencies and receive color stage awards for each achievement. The color stages are used to divide students into broad ability groups. Children progress at individual rates with the opportunity to learn the core swimming skills and progress to advanced strokes. Learning is self-paced but challenging. (Stroke School – students will refine freestyle and learn techniques for backstroke, butterfly, breaststroke and more!)
