Learn-to-Swim

The Learn-to-Swim program is designed for any child who has advanced through our Aquababies program and is 3 to 5 years old.  Through the Learn-to-Swim course,  WSI Red Cross certified instructors teach children how to swim by using standing platforms in the water.

There are three levels in the Learn-to-Swim program, based on the child’s current abilities:

  • Level 1: Child might be scared or timid of the water environment or has no skills/coordination in the water.
  • Level 2: Child is comfortable in the water, including going underwater. Child is not yet able to swim or play unattended in the water.
  • Level 3: Child is independent in the water and able to swim/play in water with adult supervision from the deck.
