Tadpole 2: This class is for children who have some experience with swimming. They need to be able to perform all of the following skills with little assistance while wearing a backpack: blow bubbles, put their face in the water, kick and swim independently on their front and back with a kickboard for a distance of 20 feet, with limited assistance, and jump into shallow water with assistance.
Otter: This class is for children who are comfortable in the water and can perform the following skills independently while wearing a backpack: blow bubbles with the face in the water, kick and swim independently on front and back for 20 feet, and jump into shallow water with limited assistance. This class will use a 2-float backpack.
Porpoise: This class is for children who are very comfortable in the water and can perform the following skills independently while wearing a backpack: 10 bobs with air exchange, front and back floats for 5 seconds each, kick 40 feet independently, swim on front and back for 25 meters, and jump into shallow water.
