Parent -Tot
Level A This class is offered to give you and your child guided time in the pool without the frenzy of the open, public and family swim atmosphere.  The instructor will introduce you to the pool, the safest ways to enter a pool with a child, and give you an idea of the skills that are taught in the lower levels of the Learn-to-Swim program.  Some of these skills include floats, glides, arm actions and breath control.  This class is recommended for children ages 6 months to 2 years.  The child will be moved to Level B when the instructor feels the child is ready or his or her age allows you to do so.
Level B Level B is more of a structured class setting with a parent optional.  It is more designed for the instructor to be more of a teacher than a facilitator like in the previous level.  We recommend this class for ages 3 to 4 years old.  The skills focused on in this level are primary water skills that provide the child with a more comfortable attitude in the water.  These skills include safe entry and exit skills, submerging in a rhythmic pattern, exploring buoyancy, combined strokes on back and front, changing body position in the water, and learning about lifejackets.  This level is to simply get the child prepared to swim and move comfortably in the water.
These two classes have age suggestions for the safety and well-being of your child, please respect these age groups when registering for classes regardless of skill level.

Level 4 Stoke Development
Once your child has developed the basics of swimming, level four focuses on the mechanics of the strokes.  Distance is also introduced with endurance to prepare the child for the upper levels that require stamina swimming.  The instructor will take time to develop the children's confidence in the deep water.  Safety skills are more advanced to prepare the child for lifesaving skills such as Safe Boating, Chocking Victim and Safe Diving.  Two new dives are also introduced.
