SUNFISH
For Beginners: 2.5 Years - 6 Years Old | Up to 3 children per class
Sunfish will begin learning the basics of breathwork and stroke development. This class will give first-timers the special attention that comes with learning the basic routine practiced with every swimmer from the time they start with Swim With Phyn, which is required to move to the next level.
They will continue at this level until they can master the skills listed below.
Skills Mastery Covered: floating, submersion, safety, and the ability to independently swim the width of the pool.
CLOWNFISH
For Graduates Only: 2.5 Years - 6 Years Old | Up to 3 children per class
The Clownfish class builds upon skills learned in the previous class, introducing students to the basics of all four swimming strokes.

Advanced students will gain additional tools, such as using the dorsal fin, to help them swim the length of the pool while practicing breathing and rollovers. Endurance and safety skills continue to be emphasized throughout the course.
They will continue at this level until they can master the skills listed below.

BELUGAS
For Intermediate: 4.5 Years Old and Up |Up to 3 children per class
