This is the perfect swim class for babies, toddlers and their parents! Your tot will learn water adjustment and basic skills like kicking, scooping, and bubble-blowing through songs, games, and lots of toys!

Come splash around with us! Your little swimmer will learn and build on basic skills of floating, kicking, scooping, bubble-blowing, and start going under water. For more advanced preschoolers we will kick and scoop without floatation, get rings underwater, and venture into the deep end! Get ready for lots of fun!

Our swim lessons follow the American Red Cross Learn to Swim Program, our swimming classes are tailored to the needs of each child, so that they can progress at a comfortable pace. Students will be taught skills to help them learn to swim with confidence and to help gain the knowledge to become water competent, which includes being water smart – knowing how to prevent and respond to water emergencies.

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 six levels:

Level 1: Introduction to Water Skills: Students will learn how to feel comfortable in the water and safely enjoy it.

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.

Level 4: Stroke Improvement: Kids will gain confidence during swim lessons, improve their stroke and gain additional aquatic skills.

Level 5: Stroke Refinement: Guidance allows kids to refine their strokes and become more efficient swimmers.

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.
