Youth Swimming Lessons
10-Level Program for children 6 Years and up
Why We Teach Combined Levels
Our combined-level classes allow swimmers with similar abilities to learn together while continuing to work on the skills that are right for their individual stage of development.
Swimming skills do not always progress evenly. A swimmer may be stronger in front crawl while still developing back crawl, breathing, endurance or another skill. Rather than limiting swimmers to one specific level, our instructors can focus on each child’s individual needs and move them forward as soon as they are ready.
With a maximum of three swimmers per class, each child continues to receive personalized instruction, appropriate challenges and plenty of practice time. This flexible approach helps swimmers avoid repeating skills they have already mastered, strengthen areas that need more attention and maximize their progress throughout the session.

Skill Evaluations
Learn to Swim focuses on progressions from level to level rather than a pass-or-fail system. Swimmers are constantly being evaluated according to their ability and progress through each level with gentle encouragement from their instructor. Parents can track their child’s progress on their account under their student’s evaluations.
At the end of each session, evaluations will be emailed to student’s families and a certificate will be presented to students celebrating their special achievements during the session.
