Parent & Child Aquatics (Level 1) --introduces basic skills to parents and children. Parents are taught to safely work with their child in the water, including how to appropriately support and hold their child in the water and how to prepare and encourage their child to participate fully and try the skills. Children are introduced to basic skills that lay a foundation to help them learn to swim.

Parent & Child Aquatics (Level 2) --builds on the skills introduced in Level 1 and learns more advanced skills.

Preschool Aquatics (Level 1) --introduces the most elementary aquatic skills, which participants continue to build on as they progress through the Preschool Aquatics and Learn-to-Swim levels. At this first level, children start developing good attitudes and safe practices around the water.

Preschool Aquatics (Level 2) --Most skills in this level are performed with assistance. This level marks the beginning of independent aquatic locomotion skills. Participants continue to explore using simultaneous and alternating arm and leg actions on the front and back to gain more proficiency for future strokes.

Preschool Aquatics (Level 3) --Skills in this level are performed independently. Participants learn to improve coordination of combined simultaneous arm and leg actions and alternating arm and leg action.

Learn-to-Swim (Level 1) --INTRODUCTION TO WATER SKILLS: Participants learn the basic personal water safety information and skills, to help participants feel comfortable in the water and to enjoy the water safely.

Learn-to-Swim (Level 2) --FUNDAMENTAL AQUATIC SKILLS: Participants learn to float without support and to recover to a vertical position. This level marks the beginning of true locomotion skills. Participants further develop simultaneous arm and leg actions and alternating arm and leg action on the front and back that lay the foundation for future strokes.

Learn-to-Swim (Level 3) --STROKE DEVELOPMENT: Participants learn to swim the front crawl, elementary backstroke, scissor kick, dolphin kick, and treading water. Participants will also learn the rules to entering the water headfirst in 9 feet deep of water.
