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 />

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 />

you can all go dancing together! Students are welcome to register for both<br />

goal to simply stay loose, have fun, and get better<br />

makes permanent…not perfect! Instructors create<br />
a positive learning environment while students<br />

and the importance <strong>of</strong> focusing in the moment<br />
illustrated in a baseball context. These are<br />
habits that will help players strive for excellence<br />
whether at the ballpark or in the classroom.<br />
This developmental process takes place under<br />
the watchful eye <strong>of</strong> instructors with extensive<br />
experience playing and coaching at all levels.<br />
