Red Cross Swim Preschool - for babies 4 months to 5-year-old children
This 7-level program allows your children to enter levels based on their age and abilities:

• During levels Starfish and Duck, the parent or caregiver will participate in the classes together with their child
• Sea Turtle level provides a transition where parents can gradually leave their preschooler with the Instructor.
• Salamander, Sunfish, Crocodile and Whale levels are unparented - the children will be with the Instructor at all times.

Red Cross Swim Kids - for 6-year-old children & older
This 10-level program for school aged children will help swimmers develop all six swimming strokes (front and back crawl, elementary back stroke, breast stroke, butterfly, sidestroke), actively learn how to be safe around the water, and increase their fitness and endurance through fun activities. Children will be challenged to achieve personal bests in distance and time, which will be a strong motivator through all 10 levels.
