This program, developed by the American Red Cross, gives children and adults the opportunity to learn to swim in a safe environment, at their own pace. All of the lessons are taught by certified, knowledgeable and caring instructors who will help swimmers at every level feel comfortable in the water and progress through the program.
Participants can be registered for one or both of the sessions offered. Waiting lists may form depending on availability. Adding to the waiting list is highly recommended so we know of additional interest and will evaluate the possibility of adding more time slots if possible.
Please select the appropriate level based on your child’s skill level. Programs are set as Level 1/2 and Level 3/4/5. Swimmers will be assessed on the first day to confirm their level within that program. If needed a swimmer may move up or down based on assessments.
