Dive Into Confidence: Glider Swim Class for Young Swimmers

At Goldfish Swim School in Farmington Hills, we understand that learning to swim is a big milestone for your little one, and we’re here to make it fun, safe, and rewarding. Our class is designed for children ready to build their swimming skills more independently and confidently. Whether your child is ready to glide through the water or still needs encouragement, our professional instructors will provide the support and positive reinforcement needed to help them thrive in the pool.

What is the Glider Swim Class?

It is part of our comprehensive Learn-to-Swim program, designed for children ages 3-5 who have mastered the basics of floating and kicking and are ready to explore swimming with more independence. In this class, your child will focus on developing foundational swimming techniques while building water confidence. The Glider level bridges the gap between early swimming skills and more advanced techniques, such as front and backstroke.

Key Skills Your Child Will Learn:

  • Floating and Gliding: Emphasizing proper body position in the water to glide smoothly.
  • Kick Development: Strengthening leg movements for more powerful kicks.
  • Arm Strokes: Introduction to basic arm strokes, including the front crawl and backstroke.
  • Water Safety: Reinforcing essential safety skills, including how to turn around and reach the wall.
  • Breath Control: Learning to hold their breath and exhale properly in the water.
