Preschool Swim Stage 3 Water Stamina (3-5 years)
Skill boosts support:

- Summer swim prep: Safe summer swimmers are made here. Help your child have a safe, fun summer with friends.
- Have fun: Swimmers of all ages and stages can have something to look forward to each day/week and feel like they went on a beach vacation without leaving town.
