Beginner Classes
Pufferfish
Puff out your cheeks, hold your breath, and float like a little round balloon! Beginner swimmers learn to blow bubbles, get comfortable putting their face in the water, and float confidently on their backs — just like a pufferfish puffing up for protection.
🔄 Evolves into Goldfish
Goldfish
Gentle, friendly, and always on the move. Swimmers at this stage are comfortable in the water, kicking independently, and losing that round, puffed-up shape to swim horizontal and streamlined — just like a goldfish gliding around its bowl.
🔄 Evolves into Koi Fish
Koi Fish
Koi are famous for their beautiful, fluid, rhythmic swimming patterns. This is where rough splashing turns into graceful movement — kids learn coordinated arm strokes and side-breathing, swimming with real rhythm for the first time.
🔄 Evolves into Lionfish
Advanced
Lionfish
Lionfish are known for their dramatic, fan-like fins. This level is all about stroke refinement — mastering a wide breaststroke pull, a high-elbow freestyle recovery, and swimming with real power and presence in the water.
🔄 Evolves into Swordfish
Swordfish
Sleek, sharp, and fast. The sword is the perfect symbol for a tight, perfect streamline off every wall. These swimmers are diving, gliding, and cutting through the water with real speed — and getting ready to take on the open ocean.
🔄 Evolves into Mahi Mahi
Mahi Mahi
Mahi Mahi are legendary for blinding speed, dazzling neon-gold color, and incredible endurance across the open ocean. These swimmers aren't just learning strokes anymore — they're mastering them, with the stamina for continuous laps, the power to explode off the walls, and the agility to switch between all four competitive strokes with elite technique. Evolving into a Mahi Mahi means they've officially become masters of the water.
