Otter Pup Two
The Otter Pup Two 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. As children in this level become more mobile, skills are progressed to enhance this natural motor development. Safety skills, such as gripping and moving along a pool edge, entries and exits, floating, and rotation through the water are all taught in the Otter Pup Two level.
Otter Pup Two are:
- Ages 10-24 Months
- Parent/child class
- Caters for children with both small and large amounts of swimming experience
- Group class with a maximum of 6 students
