Learn to Swim Lessons

Our six-level Learn-to-Swim program is unlike anything offered by other learn to swim programs. The program is designed for children ages 6-12 years. and students progress through the levels at their own pace, mastering the skills in one level before advancing to the next. Each level of our Learn-to-Swim class includes training in basic water safety and helping others in an emergency, in addition to stroke development.
