Frogs
For children aged 2.5 years to 3 years. Designed as a transition group, it emphasizes the holistic development of the children in a supportive environment that encourages exploration and discovery through play and interaction. We are aiming to encourage more independence in the water while having less support from their caregiver.
Skills include water safety, blowing bubbles, submerging, floating, propulsion and kicking so that children can safely move themselves through the water independently.
