This half hour class is a water adjustment for the child to learn to prevent swallowing water by blowing bubbles, to kick while wearing floatation devices, to reach and use arms. Based on the child's readiness, other skills can be taught such as: submersion, floating on their backs, climbing out at the side of the pool, and, jumping in from the side. The above skills are taught through play and games, such as, riding on a raft, pretending to be on a boat, passing game, and London Bridge .

Since this class is only an introduction, with emphasis on safety, it may be repeated continuously until age six. At that time the child may enter the Red Cross Learn-to-Swim Program. Instructor – Janice Wayte

This Learn-To-Swim Program is based on the American Red Cross guidelines, with an emphasis on safety. Each one-hour class is divided into four or five groups based on age, ability and motivation.

Students learn at their level, performing tasks when they are ready, both physically and psychologically. The levels are as follows:

Level I ~ Introduction to Water Skills

Level II ~ Fundamental Aquatic Skills

Level III ~ Stroke Development

Level IV ~ Stroke Improvement

Level V ~ Stroke Refinement

Level VI ~ Swimming & Skill Proficiency

Each progression incorporates the skills from the previous level. It may take several sessions at the same level for an individual to learn all the skills.
