Aquatics Classes
The six learn-to-swim levels and the objectives for each level include:
Parent and Child Aquatics:
Developed for children 6 months to 5 years of age, this class builds swimming readiness by emphasizing fun in the water. Parents and children participate in several guided practice sessions that help children learn elementary kills, including water entry, bubble blowing, front kicking, back floating, underwater exploration and more. Once child can perform basic skills without parental assistance, they may begin Learn-to-Swim courses.
