PROGRAM DESCRIPTIONS:

Our Learn-To-Swim program teaches children starting as young as 6 months.

In general, swimmers should expect to advance to the next level, after 2 sessions but only when they have learned their skills and are physically, mentally and emotionally ready. Please keep in mind that each swimmer will develop at their own pace therefore it is important that parents and instructors communicate when deciding proper placement. Additionally, and as this graphic shows, a swimmer's age also may determine which track they will be placed in, so that students will be able to swim within their own age and ability range.
