Learn-to-Swim
Swimmers who are too young to begin in the Learn-to-
Swim program or not ready to leave mom and dad’s side
are encouraged to enroll in our water introduction classes.
Children will be eased into water comfortably and begin to
gain independence.

Learn-to-Swim Program
Skill breakdowns in each level provide an ideal environment for
students to learn skills and water safety as they progress through
the program. Each level has exit skills required to pass the level
as well as working skills which are not required to pass but will
be practiced. Assessments are conducted by instructors and
coordinators during the second to last lesson and report cards are
provided after the last class. No class Jan 15, Feb 19, and Apr 1.
Paddlers Level 1 | Ages 3-6 years
No prerequisite. Swimmers are made to feel comfortable in
the water and learn to enter and exit the water safely and
independently. Children learn to blow bubbles, submerge their
head, float on their front and back with assistance as well as kick
using the help of a barbell.
