Definition of Levels & Requirements to Pass

Adult and Me Aquatics

Developed for children 6 months to 3 years, Parent and Child Aquatics helps young children get ready to swim by emphasizing fun in the water. Parents and children participate in several guided practice sessions that help kids learn elementary swimming skills, including water entry, bubble blowing, front kicking, back floating, underwater exploration and more.

Adult required in the water to participate

In Level 1 children learn basic skills through fun activities, such as blowing bubbles and playing with water toys.

In Level 2 parents work with their children to practice floating, kicking and swimming back to the side of the pool.

Level 1 helps children become comfortable in the water and basic water safety.

Learn to Swim (Levels 1, 2, 3, and 4)

Our four-level Learn-to-Swim program is unlike anything offered by other learn to swim programs. The program is designed for children over 6 years all the way up to adults, and students progress through the levels at their own pace, mastering the skills in one level before advancing to the next. Each level of our Learn-to-Swim class includes training in basic water safety and helping others in an emergency, in addition to stroke development.

Level 1: Introduction to Water Skills

Level 2: Fundamental Aquatic Skills

Level 3: Stroke Development

Level 4: Stroke Improvement
