Youth SWIMMING LESSONS: (4 months to 6 years)

image198

SWIMMING LEVEL ASSESSMENT

We recommend that you have your child 6 years of age and older assessed if they have never taken swimming lessons, if you are unsure of the level of swimming or if they have not taken a course for more than a year. Simply make an appointment for $2.



Children Swimming Lessons

The Red Cross Swim Preschool program covers three main areas of activity within levels: skills and water safety, swimming, and fitness activities. There are eight levels and the children start at the level that corresponds to their age, then progress according to their age and subsequently by their skill. The eight-level program encourages parents to enroll their children in swimming and water safety classes from an early age – babies as young as 4 months old can participate in the program. Older children learn in small groups with qualified instructors.
