Red Cross preschool

These lessons are for aged 3 to 6 year olds to introduce them to the water through games and songs. Each level will help your child be confident and learn new skills in the water. See our Red Cross preschool program content to see what your child will be doing in each level:

  • Sea otter
  • Salamader
  • Sunfish
  • Crocodile
  • Whale

Red Cross swim kids

These levels are for age 5 to 12 years old. Each level will teach your child to be safe around the water, help their swimming stroke, their strength and have some fun. See our Red Cross swim kid's program content to see what skills your child will learn in each level 1 through 10.

Red Cross adult and teen lessons

These lessons are great for teenagers or adults wanting to learn to swim or improve their swimming skills. We have two levels, basics and swim strokes. Set your goals and we will help you get there.

Swim and play

These classes are for you and your baby or toddler. These classes will introduce your child to the water with play and movement.

Private swim lessons

These one on one classes can help you or your child focus on a skill or stroke or to improve your swimming ability. We can accommodate a time that works for you. Contact our Head Lifeguard to book your lesson.
