Introduction
We offer swim lessons at the Indoor Pool in sessions throughout the year. Lesson Information
Our Infant/Toddler class is for children ages 6 months to 3 years. This is a wonderful course that may help your child to become more comfortable in and around the water. Parents and children go in the water together and under the direction of an instructor to learn simple exercises and skills.
Our American Red Cross Preschool program is for children ages 3 - 5 years old. It is broken down into Beginner and Advanced Preschool. The main difference between the levels is that in the beginner class the children work on skills with support (noodle, barbell, instructor, etc.). The advanced preschool is for those children that are performing these skills more independently. Our American Red Cross Learn to Swim program is for children ages 5 and up. This program is broken up into levels 1-6. Please see skill section for a breakdown of the critical skills of each level. We will take registration until the class if full.
