Learn to Swim Levels & Prerequisites:

Level 1: Introduction to Water Skills - Orients swimmers to aquatic environment and helps develop a positive attitude and safe practices. This level is for the non-swimmer who does not submerge head or body.

Completion Requirements:

Certain milestones are necessary for successful completion of Level 1, including - -Entering the water independently using ladder, steps, or side. -Traveling at least 5 yards, bobbing 3 times then safely exiting the water. -Gliding on front supported at least 2 body lengths. -Rolling to a back float for 3 seconds with support. -Recovering to a vertical position with support.

It is common for children to participate in several sessions of Level 1 before they successfully demonstrate each skill. That is okay! It is not important how quickly they move through a level, but that they acquire each skill.
