Parent and Child - for ages 6 months to 36 months (must be accompanied by an adult) This class will teach your child to become more comfortable in
water, so they are willing and ready to learn to swim. Basic skills taught include adjusting to water environment, comfort holding a front or back position in water and demonstrating breath control (blowing bubbles. etc.).
Preschool Aquatics (3 Levels) Ages 3 and up. Designed to give children a positive, developmentally appropriate aquatic learning experience. Level 1 helps orient young preschool children to aquatic environment and gain basic skills. Level 2 helps children gain greater independence in the water using basic skills, Level 3 helps children to gain basic swimming propulsion skills to be comfortable in and around water. Each level must be completed before advancing to the next level.
Learn-To-Swim (Levels 1 and 2) – Ages 6 and up Instructors will teach swimmers’ ability and confidence.
Level 1: Focuses on skills such as water entry and exit, bobbing, blowing bubbles through nose and mouth, opening eyes underwater and retrieving objects. Level 1 must be passed to move to the next level.
Level 2: Participants must be able to perform kicks, basic arm strokes and be comfortable with face in water. This level focuses on jumping feet first into the water, fully submerging and holding breath, floating face down in the water, back float, changing direction while swimming on front and back and continued work on swimming on front and back. Level 2 must be completed before advancing to Level 3.
Level 3 - Stroke Development: Builds on previously learned skills by providing additional practice. Participants learn the survival float, front crawl with rotary breath and elementary backstroke. Headfirst entry into water is introduced and treading skills are improved with scissor and dolphin kicks. Level 3 must be passed before advancing to level 4.
Level 4 - Stroke Improvement: Develops participants’ confidence in the strokes learned in Level 3 and improves other aquatic skills. In Level 4, participants improve their skills and increase their endurance by swimming familiar strokes (front crawl, elementary backstroke) for greater distances. Participants also learn the back crawl, breaststroke and butterfly and the basics of turning at a wall. Level 4 must be completed to advance to level 5.
Level 5 - Stroke Refinement: Participants refine their performance of all strokes and increase their distances. Flip turns on the front and back are also introduced. Diving is refined. Level 5 must be completed to advance to level 6.
Level 6 - Swimming and Skill Proficiency: The objectives of this level, the final level of the
American Red Cross learn-to-swim program, are to refine the strokes so participants can swim them with ease, efficiency, power, and smoothness while going greater distances.
