Preschool - The Connection for Women and Families: a nonprofit organization offering a variety of programs for all ages and abilities in Summit, New Jersey.

Preschool

These classes are taught in groups without a parent. All classes are 30 minutes unless otherwise specified and child must be 3 years old by the first class. (Must be toilet trained-no pull-ups, please!) Learning basic strokes is just the beginning in our progressive programming, where small student:instructor ratio ensures a high-quality swimming experience that emphasizes enjoyment, confidence and water safety.

Classes Include:

TURTLES ages 3-5
Basic personal water safety information and skills are taught to help swimmers feel comfortable in the water and to enjoy water safely. Swimmers explore movement in the water-bobbing, floating, and gliding with assistance.
SHRIMP ages 3-5
Swimmers gain confidence in breath control and learn to float and glide on their own. They continue to explore simultaneous and alternating arm and leg actions on the front and back to lay the foundation for future strokes. Swimmers build upon self-help and rescue skills.
SEAHORSE ages 4-6
Swimmers learn to effectively coordinate combined simultaneous and alternating arm and leg actions on front and back. Adjustment to deep water, along with additional water safety and self rescue skills are taught.
