Swimming Lesson Cheat Sheet
Here's a good guide for people who have questions when signing up for swimming lessons.......
IF the Child is:
6 months - 2 years old: Parent & Tot.
3 - 4 years old: ANY PRE-LEVEL class. We divide classes based on skill level.
5 years old & up: Follow these guidelines....
Level 1 - Best for kids who have little to no experience and are 5 years or older. Kids who are comfortable in the water but have not had lessons before.
Level 2 - Best for kids who have taken lessons before but still need help. Usually older kids (like 7-10).
Level 3 - This is only for students who have passed off Level 2 or are ready to learn to " lap swim " that is done in the deep pool, so child must be able to swim a good distance without help. * If you are unsure then go to level 2*
Level 4 - Students will be told if they are Level 4 by their lessons instructor.
Swim Lessons are not available for internet registration. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Preschool levels and Level 1 classes will consist of eight 30 minute lessons.
Level 2 - 6 classes will consist of eight 40 minutes lessons.
