Red Cross Levels
The Learn-to-Swim program focuses on building skills one step at a time. By allowing them to master one element before moving on to the next, our kids' swim classes make it easy to build confidence in the water.
Level 1: Introduction to Water Skills: Students will learn how to feel comfortable and safely enjoy the water.
Level 2: Fundamentals of Aquatic Skills: Children will learn basic swimming skills.
Level 3: Stroke Development: Additional guided practice will help students improve their skills.
For example, lessons may be listed, such as
Sunfish 2
This indicates that this class is for the age group of 6–8 years old and for those who are at the level 2 skill level.
Private Lessons
It is designed to individualize the student's needs to improve their swimming skills. No assessment is required to join private lessons. At the end of the session, each student will receive the appropriate level of membership so they can enroll in group classes in the future.
Parent-Toddler Lessons
Join us in an instructor-led lesson with you and your child. Start to get your child comfortable in the water and give them a head start on learning to swim. Classes are for 6 months through 2 years old. A parent or guardian must be in the water with the swimmer for every class.
