The Learn-to-Swim program focuses on building skills one step at a time. By giving them the opportunity to master one element before moving on to the next, our kids' swim classes make it easy to build confidence in the water.

 

During their swim lessons, children will spend time on the following 8 levels:

Class	Level Type	Description	Ages
With Parent	Water Acclamation	This class is designed for parents with infants. The parents will bring their infants and learn how to acclimate your child to the water.	6 months - 3
Preschool	Basic Intro to Water Skills	Works on getting kids to be more independent before starting the Learn to Swim levels.	3 - 5
Level 1	Introduction to Water Skills	Students will learn how to feel comfortable in the water and safely enjoy it.	6 - 17
Level 2	Fundamentals of Aquatic Skills	Children will learn basic swimming skills.	6 - 17
Level 3	Stroke Development	Additional guided practice will help students improve their skills.	6 - 17
Level 4	Stroke Improvement	Kids will gain confidence during swim lessons, improve their stroke and gain additional aquatic skills.	6 - 17
Level 5	Stroke Refinement	Guidance allows kids to refine their strokes and become more efficient swimmers.	6 - 17
Level 6	Swimming and Skill Proficiency	Students will learn to swim with ease and efficiency, and gain the ability to swim smoothly over greater distances. Swimmers will also have the option to participate in more advanced courses.	6 - 17
