Swimming Lessons<br />

The goal <strong>of</strong> the aquatics program is for the student to continually<br />

make progress with each class. Each class is structured to build on the<br />

skills learned in the previous class. A student who does not possess the<br />

minimum skills required for the class enrolled will hinder the progress<br />

<strong>of</strong> the other students as well as his or her own, and will not be allowed<br />

to continue.<br />

Students may register for only one session <strong>of</strong> classes at a time.<br />

Student must be finished with half <strong>of</strong> their current course to<br />

register for future classes and must have a recommendation from<br />

their instructor to advance.<br />

Waiting Lists: Request to be placed on a specific waitlist when an<br />

aquatic class fills. You will be contacted by staff if openings occur due<br />

to cancellations, or if new classes are added.<br />

New! Older Active Adults Water/Swim Lessons<br />

Do you have a fear <strong>of</strong> water? Wouldn’t dare to think <strong>of</strong> putting<br />

your face under? Perhaps you have grandkids now and would like<br />

to be able to enjoy water play with them. This class is designed to<br />

help you conquer your fear and learn to be comfortable in such<br />

situations. Instructor Debbie Zarling is an aquatic therapist who<br />

just walking or actually learning how to swim.<br />

to provide a series <strong>of</strong> youth tumbling and gymnastics activities for<br />

the toddler and pre-school aged child. All classes are conducted<br />

at Mini-Hops. Visit their website, or call for map and driving<br />

Mini-Hops is a non-pr<strong>of</strong>it, parent-supported organization<br />

celebrating 35 years <strong>of</strong> providing an opportunity for children<br />

in our community to participate, learn and enjoy the skills <strong>of</strong><br />

gymnastics in a safe, wholesome, family friendly environment. At<br />

the same time, Mini-Hops provides an avenue for gymnasts with<br />

high athletic aspirations to grow in a program where they can<br />

achieve their maximum potential.<br />

The goal <strong>of</strong> the pre-school gymnastics program at Mini-<br />

Hops is to provide your child with a positive, nurturing, safe<br />

and energetic learning experience. We aim to build strength,<br />

flexibility, endurance and self-confidence while having fun—<br />

giving children a jump on life through gymnastics.<br />

Almost Me (Ages 2 ½ –3 ½ Years): This class introduces the<br />

structure <strong>of</strong> preschool in very small increments and begins<br />

preparing children for their next steps <strong>of</strong> independence. A parent<br />

still accompanies their child and continues to use this class as<br />

a special bonding time. At the same time, we help to foster<br />

independence by <strong>of</strong>fering fun and challenging activities the child<br />

can accomplish all by themselves. 40 minutes, Ratio 6:1<br />

Lil Hoppers (Ages 3½ –4 ½ Years): This class is designed for<br />

development <strong>of</strong> gymnastics, hand-eye coordination, ball-handling<br />

skills, movement to music, and overall fitness, using large and<br />

small motor equipment where students learn and have FUN.<br />

These Lil’ Hoppers learn by achieving skills, which in turn fosters<br />

self-esteem. Developing healthy learning attitudes is vital during<br />

their formative preschool years. 60 minutes, Ratio 6:1<br />
