Dolphins Beginning and Advanced are for older children who are afraid of water or never taken lessons. The Dolphins classes are the equivalent of Guppies/Tadpoles and 1^st Beginners/2^nd Beginners for older children. This is to ensure the older child is in a class with similarly aged children. After passing Dolphins Advanced the next class will be Level 3 (Deep Water).

A child who enrolls in Dolphins Advanced should meet the following requirements:

• Is between the ages of 7 and 10 

• Has previously taken Guppies, Tadpoles or Dolphins Beginners

• Puts whole head in easily, holding it in for at least 5-10 seconds

• Unassisted front float, back float, jumps in and swims back to side of pool
