Seal
The Seal class is a teacher and child level for beginners. Perfect for children who are slightly anxious about the water, or who have never done lessons before, the Seal level is all about building confidence. This class focuses on giving your child the tools to submerge comfortably and propel through the water by kicking and paddling. We teach the basics of water safety, including safe entries and safety falls. By the time your child is ready to move up from this level, they will be confidently swimming with their faces under the water to their teacher or to the wall using paddles and kicks to propel themselves through the water.
