The most important skill we teach in Station One through Four is the jump into water, roll over, float and yell for help!
Pre-school Program goal is 15 feet of doggie paddle!! Pre-school graduates will be moved into Station Two of the regular program.
Hitting the Gong is designed to acknowledge your child’s progress in the program and receive their advancement sticker. Once children graduate to the next station, they get to hit the gong for all to hear! Parents, have your camera ready for this special moment!
