Our swim lesson levels follow a typical progression and are designed to build on the skills taught in the previous level. If you are unsure what level your child should be enrolled in, please come for a free placement test during any lap swim. See the completion requirements for individual-level skills.
Swim lesson instructors have returned to in-water instruction. Parent and child classes have expanded to eight parent/child pairs. All Preschool swim lessons have four students max. Youth levels have a max of five students now.
