Advanced Tots – Fundamental Skills
Ages: 3 years to 5 years
Prerequisites: All participants must be evaluated by pool staff before registration. Participants must successfully pass or be competent in all skills and objectives for Advanced Tot or Level 1. Returning participants must contact pool staff to ensure the correct prerequisite skills are listed on their SDRecConnect account. Otherwise, ActiveNet will not allow you to register for any upper-level lessons. If this is your first time registering for classes with the City of San Diego, you will need to contact pool staff to schedule a swim assessment and, if needed, help create an SDRecConnect account.
Objectives: This class is designed for participants to become proficient in fundamental aquatic skills and to introduce more advanced safety concepts and skills.
Skills: Safety concepts, following directions, entering and exiting pool, breath control, rhythmic breathing, multiple front and back floats, retrieve object from chest deep water, jumping into pool, front and back glides, front and back flutter kicking, roll over from front glide to back float, freestyle arm strokes, side breathing, and porpoise dives (pool depth permitting).
Please call the Memorial Pool at (619) 235-1139 to speak with pool staff if you have any questions
Younger children may not progress as quickly as older children because their strength, coordination, and understanding of processes are developed at individual rates. An appropriate swimsuit is required at all times. A parent or responsible adult must remain in the spectator area at all times. Swim diapers are required for children under 4 years old regardless of toilet training.
It is important to enroll your child in the correct class; necessary transfers may result in the change of class days and times. There are NO REFUNDS. For specific information on class prerequisites or level placement, please call the Memorial Pool at (619) 235-1139 to speak with pool staff if you have any questions
