It’s never to late! Level One is designed for beginning swimmers, ages 13 and older, who have not yet learned to swim or those who are Terrified Of Water (TOW). Level Two is designed for those swimmers, ages 13 and older who are able to swim, but are looking to develop or refine their strokes. Great for lap swimmers!

Youth Swimming Lessons

Level One is for beginning swimmers ages four through twelve. In level One, children will learn the basic water safety skills and become comfortable in the water. Skills taught in this class include blowing bubbles, back and front float, kicking, and front crawl.

Level Two is designed for children ages four through twelve who can swim at least fifteen yards unassisted. The goal of Level Two is to increase the participants skill level by refining and emphasizing breathing techniques, freestyle and backstroke, and introducing the breast stroke.

Level Three is designed for efficient swimmers who are looking to refine their free, back, and breast strokes. In Level Three, the participants are also introduced to the butterfly and side strokes, flip turns, and diving blocks.

Participants must be four years of age and older to participate in Youth Swimming Lessons. All participants must be swim tested and issued a placement card prior to registering for Youth Swimming Lessons to ensure proper placement. Please call our staff to schedule a swim test at one of our three locations.
