Ages: 3 to 5 years (Must have completed Level 1)
The objectives of Level 2 are to further develop basic aquatic skills. Children begin to perform these skills at a slightly more advanced level than in Level 1.

Sundays @ 10:30am | 30mins
Preschool Aquatics Level 3
Ages: 3 to 5 years (Must have completed Level 1 & 2)

Children improve their coordination and control of combined simultaneous arm and leg actions and alternating arm and leg actions.
