We offer five levels of lessons:
§ Pre-beginners – typically 3-5 year olds, uncomfortable with the water and likely no previous formal lesson instruction.
§ Beginner 1 – usually 4-6 year olds comfortable with the water, but not as confident in their strokes.
§ Beginner 2 – tends to be 5-8 year olds focused on becoming competent in freestyle and possibly backstroke.
§ Beginner 3 – typically 6-9 year olds who have knowledge of freestyle and backstroke and will work to refine those strokes, and possibly learn breaststroke.
§ Advanced Beginner – usually kids 6 years old and up refining their freestyle and backstroke, and just learning butterfly and breaststroke.
Your child will be assigned a level at the registration/screening.
