Learn
TO SWIM
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The Glen Ellyn Park District’s Learn to Swim program provides a positive, fun-filled opportunity
for children to learn skills that will help reduce the number of water accidents and provide life-
long aquatic enjoyment.
Children will be moved up to the next level once all of the skills in the previous level have been
mastered. Many skills in certain levels are dependent on physical development, strength and
coordination. Please remember that each child is unique and develops at his or her own rate, and
that progression through these levels varies greatly.
Parents are asked to remain off the pool deck and in the concessions area. This will aid the in-
structors in keeping your child’s focus, and the deck clear in case of an aquatic emergency. Your
cooperation in this matter is appreciated.
