Glider Swim Class at Goldfish Swim School in Lenexa, KS

Start Your Little One’s Swimming Journey with Confidence!

We are excited to introduce the Glider Swim Class. This class is designed specifically for toddlers and preschool-aged children (typically ages 4-12) who are ready to take the next step in their swimming skills. It is the perfect introduction to more advanced swim techniques while maintaining the fun and nurturing environment we’re known for.

What is the Glider Swim Class?

It is an intermediate-level class that builds on the foundational skills learned in earlier levels. It focuses on helping young swimmers develop confidence, balance, and coordination in the water. Through a mix of structured activities and fun, your child will continue to refine their strokes and learn more advanced water safety skills.

Key Skills Taught:

  • Front & Back Floats: Your child will build strength and comfort in floating independently.
  • Glide Technique: Introduces streamlined gliding and kicking, progressing to swim distances longer.
  • Breath Control: Practice proper breath-holding and coordination with strokes.
  • Safety Skills: We emphasize water safety, such as turning and swimming to the edge for a safe exit.
  • Building Confidence: Encourages independence and a love for the water while providing the safety and structure of a class environment.

When Can My Child Join the Class?

The Glider class is ideal for children who have mastered the basics of swimming (such as floating and basic kicking) and are ready to transition to more independent swimming. If you’re unsure which class is best for your child, don’t hesitate to contact our team, and we’ll help you find the perfect fit!
