Otter Pup Three
The Otter Pup Three class aims to continue developing your child's confidence in the water. Conditioning and submersion skills are progressed as children show appropriate readiness. Children will continue developing strong mobility skills to enable them to move through the water confidently. Kickboard activities will be introduced to begin to prepare children for an independent teacher/child class, which they will move to at the age of 3. Safety skills, such as gripping and moving along a pool edge, entries and exits, floating, and rotation through the water are all taught with increasing independence.
