Level Requirements

The Learn-to-Swim program focuses on building skills one step at a time. By giving kids the opportunity to master one element before moving on to the next, our classes make it easy to build confidence in the water. 

Over time, we have enhanced our curriculum to best suit the learning needs of our students. Rooted in the Red Cross Swim Skills program, our curriculum reflects our commitment to delivering a dynamic and optimized educational experience.
