Waves Welcome. Progress Guaranteed.
At America’s Kids In Motion, our preschool swimming lessons in Fresno, CA, turn tiny hands clinging to the pool’s edge into confident, curious little swimmers. We keep learning playful and pressure-free, blending fun activities with a clear, step-by-step progression that helps each child master foundational skills before moving on. With patient, age-appropriate instruction, our coaches create a setting where preschoolers feel safe, supported, and genuinely excited to learn.
Everything in our program is built for young swimmers. Our warm, shallow teaching pool helps kids feel secure enough to stand, explore, and take brave little risks. Because nervousness is normal at this age, we use encouragement, gentle guidance, and play-based instruction to replace uncertainty with joy. With our Head Coach always on deck, parents can trust that every child receives individual attention, consistent safety, and plenty of celebration.
And then comes the magic: that very first independent float. One big smile, and suddenly the water becomes a place of confidence, independence, and pure fun.
Preschool Level 1/2
- Tadpole and Pufferfish
Designed for young swimmers who aren’t yet comfortable holding their breath, floating independently, or kicking with control, this level of our Preschool Swimming Lessons in Fresno, CA focuses on the essential first skills every swimmer needs: breath control, buoyancy, balance, and coordinated kicking. With patient instruction and intentionally small class sizes, children build confidence quickly while learning to glide and kick about 15 feet on both their stomach and back. Once these foundational skills are mastered, swimmers advance to Preschool Level 3 or transition into School Age Level 3. Each class lasts 30 minutes and is limited to three students, ensuring plenty of individual attention and progress at a pace that feels safe and fun.
Preschool Level 3/4
- Jellyfish and Octopus
For little swimmers ready for a challenge, our Level 3/4 preschool swimming lessons in Fresno, CA, help turn basic water comfort into real swimming ability.
In Jellyfish Level 3, kids who can already complete 10 relaxed bobs strengthen their floating skills, refine balanced front and back floats, and learn essential safety techniques like rolling to their back after entering the water.
In Octopus Level 4, swimmers begin moving through the water with more independence. They practice jumping bobs, retrieve objects from the pool floor, and get introduced to freestyle and backstroke. This stage blends fun with smart safety habits, helping preschoolers grow into confident, capable swimmers who genuinely love being in the water.
Preschool Level 5/6
- Shark and Dolphin
At this stage of our preschool swimming lessons in Fresno, CA, children begin refining advanced skills and building real endurance in the water. In Shark Level 5, swimmers work on side kicking, rollover breathing, and swimming 30 feet on their back with confidence and control. Moving into Dolphin Level 6, they practice circle swimming, extend freestyle with smooth rollover breathing to 30 feet, and are introduced to butterfly and breaststroke kicks using a kickboard. They also learn to tread water, which is an important milestone that prepares them for stronger, safer, and more independent swimming as they grow.
