At America’s Kids In Motion, our preschool swimming lessons in Fresno, CA, transform tiny hands gripping the pool’s edge into confident little swimmers. We believe learning to swim should feel like play, not pressure. That’s why our program combines fun activities with a structured, step-by-step approach that helps each child master foundational techniques before moving forward. With patient, age-appropriate instruction, our coaches create an environment where preschoolers feel safe, supported, and excited to learn.
Every detail is designed with young swimmers in mind. Our shallow, warm-water pool allows children to stand, feel secure, and take risks without fear. Nervousness is natural at this age, so we use play, encouragement, and gentle guidance to replace uncertainty with joy. With our Head Coach always on deck, parents can feel confident knowing every child gets the attention, safety, and celebration they deserve.
And then comes the magical moment: that first independent float. Their smile says it all, and from that point forward, the water becomes a place of confidence, independence, and fun.
Preschool Level 1/2
- Tadpole and Pufferfish
Designed for children who aren’t yet comfortable holding their breath, floating on their own, or kicking with control, this class focuses on building the essential first skills every swimmer needs: breath control, buoyancy, balance, and kicking. With patient instruction and small class sizes, kids gain 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 children ready to take the next step, our level 3/4 preschool swimming lessons in Fresno, CA, focus on turning water comfort into real swimming ability.
In Jellyfish Level 3, swimmers who can already complete 10 relaxed bobs build on their foundation with stronger floating skills, balanced front and back floats, and essential life-saving techniques like rolling onto the back after jumping in.
In Octopus Level 4, kids begin moving more independently through the water. They practice exciting new skills such as jumping bobs, retrieving objects from the pool bottom, and are introduced to freestyle and backstroke. This stage blends fun with important safety habits, helping children grow into confident, capable swimmers who love their time in the water.
Preschool Level 5/6
- Shark and Dolphin
At this stage of our preschool swimming lessons in Fresno, CA, children refine advanced skills and build endurance in the water. In Shark Level 5, swimmers focus on side kicking, rollover breathing, and swimming 30 feet on their back with confidence. Advancing to Dolphin Level 6, they master circle swimming, extend freestyle with rollover breathing to 30 feet, and are introduced to butterfly and breaststroke kicks with a kickboard, along with treading water, key milestones that prepare them for stronger, more independent swimming.
