For Children Ages 3+ Who Are Ready to Begin Learning Water Survival Skills

Minnow is a survival-focused level where swimmers participate in a full 30-minute class dedicated to practicing essential self-rescue techniques.

Lessons are engaging yet purposeful, building water confidence, body control, and the independence needed for real-world aquatic safety.
