Levels
There are four levels of swim lessons available. Please register your children at the appropriate level based on their skills and experience.
| Level | Typical Ages | Time | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| I | 5-7 | 12:00 – 12:30* | This class introduces children to water and swimming. The class encourages children to swim (dogpaddle unaided with face in the water), breathe and be comfortable submerging and floating on their backs. |
| II | 6-8 | 12:30 – 1:00* | This class is aimed at children who are comfortable in the water but have limited swimming experience. The main goals are to swim freestyle with no breathing and to kick on the back unaided. |
