*All children who are not toilet-trained must wear snug-fitting swim pants while using the pool - NO REGULAR DIAPERS.

*Only ONE parent who is accompanying a child into the pool as part of the swim class (Babes, Preschool) may be in the pool area during lessons. There is no observation area available, and for the safety of all concerned, parents of children in other levels we ask that all additional family members remain outside the pool area until the last five minutes of class. NO SIBLINGS in the pool area PLEASE! This for the safety of all in the pool and on the deck.
*Children age 5 and above must use the appropriate locker room, not that of the opposite sex. If you need assistance for your child in the locker room, let us know at registration time so we can make alternative arrangements.
AQUA BABES
Introduction to the pool for babies 6 month-3 years old, with a parent/family member in the water, begin learning motor skills, and teaches parents safety techniques. No regular diapers in the pool; children may wear Swim Diapers or a bathing suit.
PRE-SCHOOL SWIM
For children 3-5 years old, working with a parent in the water. Songs and games, motor skills, safety and rules. Comfort in the pool is stressed.
LEVEL 1- INTRODUCTION TO WATER SKILLS
For children ages 5-7; basic personal water safety information and skills as well as learning to feel comfortable in the water. Begin developing good swimming habits and safe practices in and around the water.
For each following level, student should hold the previous level card, or be able to demonstrate skills from the previous level. Red Cross Cards will be issued after successful completion of Levels 1-6; progress reports will be issued to students who do not receive a card. (No cards issued for Aqua Babes or Pre-School Swim)
LEVEL 2- FUNDAMENTAL AQUATIC SKILLS
Ages 5+ expands on fundamental aquatic locomotion and safety skills. Learn to float without support and continue to explore simultaneous and alternating arm and leg actions on the front and back to lay the foundation for future strokes.
