LEARN TO SWIM PROGRAM

The Learn To Swim (LTS) Program is guided by American Red Cross Certified Water Safety Instructors. Participants will receive an American Red Cross completion card upon successful completion of any level.

PARENT AND CHILD

This program teaches the essentials to both parents and children. Parents discover safe techniques for interacting with their child in the water, including proper ways to support and hold them, as well as strategies to motivate their child to engage and practice new skills. Meanwhile, children are introduced to the fundamentals that serve as a basis for swimming lessons. Additionally, parents learn about various important water safety topics.

  • Ages: 6 months – 3 years

  • Class capacity: 10

  • Class length: 30 minutes

ADULT

Adult Swim: Learning the Basics Covers fundamental aquatic skills and various swimming techniques, such as the front crawl, breaststroke, and elementary backstroke. Participants will also acquire essential knowledge for ensuring safety in and around water, as well as techniques for self-rescue and assisting others during aquatic emergencies.

Adult Swim: Improving Skills and Swimming Strokes Refines the participant’s 6 basic swimming strokes, turns, and builds endurance. (Butterfly stroke and turn are optional.)

  • Ages: Adults

  • Class capacity: 6

  • Class length: 45 minutes

PRESCHOOL

Provides young children with positive, developmentally appropriate aquatic learning experiences. Preschoolers develop essential skills and understand water safety principles.

  • Ages: 3 – 5 Years

  • Class capacity: 6 (3:1 instructor ratio)

  • Class length: 30 minutes

LEVEL 1

Designed to orient participants to the aquatic environment and to help them gain basic aquatic skills. In addition, participants start developing positive attitudes, effective swimming habits and safe practices in and around the water.

  • Prerequisites: No prerequisites needed.

  • Ages: 4+

  • Class capacity: 8 (4:1 Instructor ratio)

  • Class length: 30 minutes

LEVEL 2

This level enhances the fundamental aquatic and water safety competency acquired in Level 1. Participants start to execute skills at a more advanced level and develop basic propulsion techniques for both front and back movements. They learn to glide and float independently while refining simultaneous and alternating arm and leg movements, which are essential for future swimming strokes. This stage signifies the initiation of independent movement in the water.

  • Prerequisites: Complete/Demonstrate Level 1 Exit Skills

  • Class capacity: 8 (4:1 Instructor ratio)

  • Class length: 30 minutes

LEVEL 3

The skills acquired in Levels 1 and 2 serve as a foundation for further development. Participants advance to swimming the front crawl and elementary backstroke at a basic proficiency level, while also being introduced to the scissors and dolphin kicks. They experience extended durations for treading water and begin learning to enter the water headfirst from a seated position at the poolside at a shallow angle. Upon successful completion of Level 3, participants attain fundamental water competency within a pool setting.

  • Prerequisites: Complete/Demonstrate Level 2 Exit Skills

  • Class capacity: 6

  • Class length: 30 minutes

LEVEL 4

Improves participant’s proficiency in performing the swimming strokes that were introduced in Level 3 enabling them to swim for greater distances. In addition, participants learn the arm actions that accompany the scissors kick and breaststroke kick in order to begin performing the sidestroke and breaststroke at rudimentary proficiency levels. Participants are also introduced to the technique of executing an open turn at the wall.

  • Prerequisites: Complete/Demonstrate Level 3 Exit Skills

  • Class capacity: 6

  • Class length: 30 minutes

LEVEL 5

Emphasizes assisting participants in enhancing their execution of all six swimming strokes, which include front crawl, back crawl, butterfly, breaststroke, elementary backstroke, and sidestroke. Additionally, participants are instructed on how to effectively perform flip turns for both front and back strokes.

  • Prerequisites: Complete/Demonstrate Level 4 Exit Skills

  • Class capacity: 6

  • Class length: 30 minutes

LEVEL 6

The objective of this level is to refine strokes so participants swim with greater efficiency and effectiveness over longer distances. By the conclusion of the program, participants will possess the essential skills and fitness required for entry into advanced courses, including Water Safety Instructor and Lifeguarding, as well as other aquatic pursuits like competitive swimming.

  • Prerequisites: Complete/Demonstrate Level 5 Exit Skills

  • Class capacity: 6

  • Class length: 30 minutes
