Pike A
This level is for the beginner. Children at this level may be apprehensive and cling to the teacher. They may not be able to move freely through the water without the aid of an instructor. The main emphasis in Pike A is to help the child develop safe pool behavior, adjust to the water, and develop independent movement in the water. |

Pike B
This level is designed for new swimmers, teaching basic paddle stroke and kicking skills, floating, pool safety, proper use of PFDs, and comfort with holding the face in the water while blowing bubbles and swimming. |
