Description
Please contact the pool for a pretest. Swimmer must have passed Beginning Swimmer to register for this activity.
Red Cross Learn to Swim consists of six comprehensive levels that teach people of varying ages and abilities how to swim skillfully and safely. Each group includes training in basic water safety. All aquatic and safety skills are taught in a logical progression. The objectives are to be safe in, on, and around water, to improve proficiency in previously learned strokes, to learn new strokes, and to refine performance of all six swimming strokes, (i.e. front crawl, back crawl, butterfly, breaststroke, elementary backstroke, and sidestroke).
- Level 4: Stroke Improvement
- Level 5: Stroke Refinement
- Level 6: Swimming and Skill Proficiency
(The American Red Cross Swim App is a great tool to track your swimmer's progression through skills learned. Students are grouped by skills rather than levels. It is a free mobile download for Android and Apple devices. Text SWIM to 90999 for the link to download)
